I never read the stickys. So what if the same subject keeps coming up. There's always a new perspective, well at least some of the time. If your not interested in it don't read it. I guess we could have a sticky only forum. What fun would that be?
As far as the seat, I saw it the other day, but this thread is a little different. I don't think it would take to long to get pulled over with a seat like that around here.
Yes, no doubt of the stopping capability of a well aimed .357 round..... but one better practice A LOT with it, particularly with a small and light weight revolver. If a threatening target is missed with shot #1, the brutal recoil is going to cause a target reaquisition delay. The diminutive power of the .380 at least can be brought to bear far quicker for follow-up shots, and if loaded with the best personal defense loads (ie. Corbon's various loads) the weakling round can be powered to more reliable stoping probablilities.
Very true...it's all about being extremely familiar with your carry gun. Out here is the Peoples Republic of California, CCW's are so rare and precious, those who have them worked hard to get them and are typically the type of guys who shoot more rounds per year than the 3 LEO's combined.
While I love the .357 round, I currently carry a Kahr 9MM, or a para warthog doublestack 1911. Depends of how I am carrying and where I am going. I prefer the heavier warthog though. .45 get's business handled.
Cross the border to your S.E. and move to AZ. Not only is open carry legal, starting next month we can carry concealed without a permit. I also carry a Colt Mustang .380 loaded with hollow points and have no worries about it breaking the skin of a bad guy. Good grief.

Yeah, .380 may be a weaker round, but seems to me that it would get the job done. I'm not a bad guy, but you could point a CO2 powered BB/Pellet gun at me and I would retreat, you would'nt even have to shoot.

Trust me, if the job market was there, I would be too. I have family in Prescott and man is it some great country up there!
