What is the BEST Defensive Caliber for Carry?...& Why is it .357magnum?
The Yankee Marshal argues for .357 Magnum as the best defensive caliber for everyday carry, emphasizing its power and effectiveness against threats, including soft body armor. While acknowledging other calibers like 10mm and 9mm offer higher capacity, he prioritizes shot placement and terminal performance, believing most defensive encounters are resolved quickly. He also notes that .357 Magnum, while powerful, is more manageable for most shooters than extreme magnum rounds like .454 Casull.
