I was shocked why the same gun in .357 (like Jim's) cost $300+ more tan my +P .38. I also looked hard at the little S&W M351PD which is basically the same Ultra-lightweight snubbie as my .38 but chambered in rimfire .22 WMR. They wer around $200 more than my .38 but sported fancy laminate grips and fiber optic front sight.
Rethinking or to re-do:
How would you compare a 5-shot 12 oz. .38 Special to a 7-shot same (Scandium) in .22 WMR for everday, everywhere, everything, carry? Guys snap up the (expensive) used ones like hotcakes!

For $450, I bought a ballistically inferior 43C.

the 22 magnum will often do more tissue damage than a 38 spl
