I'd get a .357.

My uncle has one of those and since the first time I shot it I've always wanted one.
because sentences are handed down by judges, it's not counseling... or mental institution, at the end of that sentence they can't bring up some review board to say they're not fit to go back, and have them stay in longer.... once their time is up, their time is up, reguardless of ANYTHING... there is no choice but to let them go...

a .357 isn't all it's cracked up to be... 6 shots (or 7 as with my friends) extremely slow on the pull... and sometimes in those matters, yoru life is literally in the hands of your ability to hold that gun on a target (which isn't exactly easy with something of such kick... he even had a compensated barrel, and i still had to pause a second to aim the next shot) and fire for all your worth...

although the one major plus for revolvers is no jamming or problems... unless you throw it in sand and then sink it in water for a week.. then you might have a problem....
