I am new to the gun game, but I like learning from people more experienced than I. Pardon if this is a dumb question or pointless discussion . .

There are those that praise the .357 as "the best man stopper in a handgun" round. I have also read about accounts where people take a .357 JHP and are able to run some distance after taking it.

Opinions on this round, from a practical self defense standpoint and any personal stories would be great!

Compare to the .45 ACP.
