.380 has gotten to be more than 9mm, with everybody getting pocket carry guns.

I buy my ammo wherever it's cheapest, which is more often than not at Wal-Mart. When buying there, a box of 9mm is about 10 dollars, a box of .357 Magnum is about 25, aka a 15 dollar difference, which is a bit steep for me. I do agree that "less is more" when it comes to .357 Mag though; I usually feel done after about 100 rounds, but next to the 250 rounds of 9mm I can get for the same amount of money, I'd rather shoot the 250 9mms I can get and not feel so done afterward. You can do certain drills a lot easier with wondernines too like rapid fire or controlled pairs, without having to reload so often (though you will have to load magazines). That may not be possible if you're at a range that prohibits such things, but even so I take my 9s out far more often than I take my .357 Mag out to the range.
