Depends what you like really . Today I ' ve been switching between Gilmore Girls and Last Man Standing 😬 <| sep |> Howard Stern joke . What do Santa Claus , the Easter Bunny and Black Puerto Ricans have in common ? None of them exist . That really upturned my 8 yo life . <| sep |> There are many good and small options besides snub nose revolvers now . Semiautomatic pistols have gotten quite a bit smaller in the last several years . I have the Sig p 238 380 auto . Tiny gun but shoots really well . Rugar lcp and SW Bodyguard are also popular in 380 auto . Many 9 mm models are only marginally larger than their 380 counterparts . Anyway , use what works for you . Everyone is different and has very different preferences . Out of curiosity , what is your 357 ' s makemodel ?
