It's not deciding WHETHER to get a .357, it's deciding whether to get a new one and scope it or look for an older one with iron sights. With my brother it's deciding on a ream to Maxi or a second gun. And as far as one handi not being enough.....2 45-70's, a .223 ultra varmint, a 30-30, a .357 for my brother, a .308 for my dad, a .22 LR sportster, a 12 gauge pardner, a 20 gauge, pardner, and a Huntsman in .50 cal lead me to believe I agree with that statement...
