What would you use it for? self defense at home? every day carry? fun at the range? other? also, which one are you the most confortable shooting, most likely to hit your intended target (ok, it depends on the firearm, but a big fast bullet that misses is not nearly as effective as a smaller / slower one that hits...); do you care about cost? so many questions...
Well that's kind of my question. Assume you want a round that fits various different firearms used for different purposes. Which woukd you prefer between those two?
Just get the 357. It's slightly more common and a tad cheaper (I believe) than 44. Certainly 38 special is gonna be cheaper than whatever 44 magnum's cheap cousin is. This will allow you to practice more.
