Admittedly, that's wasteful with a 2" barrel but having options is not a bad thing...

I have a Ruger SP101 in .357 with a 2" barrel. Even though heavy for a little snubnose, with full blown .357's it's a bit "snappy" even though I'm sure some unburned powder is blown out the barrel. Rarely do I carry it but when I do it's loaded with .38 spl. +P.
S&W makes some titanium framed .357's, little pocket snub nose. Nope. I had a snubnose aluminum framed S&W Airweight that I sold. (Helped me buy my KMG) I usually carry a lightweight Ruger LCR which has the nylon frame. With +P loads it's a bit snappy too. But I don't spend a lot of time with it at the range for fun.
