Just sayin!
Better keep it locked in the safe because if you use an illegal magazine for your own protection, you could very easily find yourself a felon (depending on the laws that may or may not get passed).If anything passes, who's going to be checking me to make sure I comply?
Funny thing is, 357 magnum is about on par with a lot of modern 9mm loads, and quite behind 45acp.
Number wise anyway.
Only thing 357 magnum has going for it is stuffing a 180gr+ Hardcast in it, to make yourself a portable drill press.

I don't own nor have ever shot a .45, but most all american special forces use it for some reason. American thinking....bigger is better
If I was limited to hardball by the Geneva Convention, I would too. I'm not. A 9mm with a good, modern defense load (hollowpoint) is right in there with the best .45 loads for stopping aggression.
Not to get off topic or split hair but it was actually the Hague Treaty that restricted Hollow Points. Also since the late 1990's the USAF has been issuing JHP for the Beretta M9 to USAF Security Forces at stateside bases. The USAF had a bunch of shootings in the 1990's and while they stopped the threat the AF leadership wanted better performance and USAF JAG ruled stateside AF Security Forces were doing a domestic type LE duty and thus the JHP is authorized. The AF only issues the JHP for the 9mm M9. The M16/4 and everything else is FMJ. Whenever anyone deploys overseas they revert to 100% FMJ
Huh?
357 Mag hydra-shok, as one example puts out 575 ft/lbs at the muzzle.
45 HSTs put out 404.
I don't think there's a 9mm that breaks into the 400 range.
