[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 792083, member: 423"] I would go with LDP's statement. However, I would also go out some time, and see how fast I could shoot the 357s and stay on target (use one of the silhouette targets), and then do the same with the +P's. If I could shoot significantly faster with the +P's, then I would go with them. I would hope that if I ever had to use my gun I'd have time to aim and use just one shot, but I want to know that if necessary, I can shoot several quickly. I can do that with .357s in my all steel 3" GP100, but I don't know if I could with a 2" AirLite Smith. The other thing to watch, is the fireball. I shot one of the Airlite .357s a while back, and even with the lights on indoors I could really see the blast. Versus I've never noticed the blast with with any other gun enough to remember noticing it. I just remember thinking "wow! that was a big fireball" with the 2" .357. [/QUOTE]
