Less recoil, less noise, less fire out of barrel to ruin night vision, typically smaller and lighter weight "launchers" available, +P ammo is pretty hot stuff, and still cheaper than .357 ammo.... and at self defense distance it's doubtful the recipient of what is exiting out of the barrel can tell much difference.

Kinda like the difference between getting cut on 440C or 1095.


Which reminds me BTW, am I the only one with an almost perpetual bandaid on my finger(s)?
