I regard the .357 Magnum as the "good enough" Magnum. Has it lost a lot of mystique, sure. But it'll still put a man down with one shot.

And Patton coupled it with a nickle-plated, ivory-handled Colt SAA that HE ACTUALLY KILLED MEN WITH, so yeah, bad ass.

(This is all coming from a guy who not only carried two nickle-plated, ivory-handled pistols at once, but a former Olympian who also the Army's youngest Master of the Sword, who also helped design a cavalry saber still used by the Army today. Frankly, I'm shocked he didn't carry a saber in addition to his brace of pistols.)
