Lockbar stabilizer for 0560 .357 or .45?

Heartland_edc · Mar 3, 2016

Maybe this thread is in the wrong place, and if it is, I apologize. I'm about to buy a lockbar stabilizer for my ZT 0560, and while I do plenty of shooting out here in Kansas, I don't know much about round versatility and preference. I don't want to accidentally start an argument about which type of round is better for what purpose, I just want to know which more people would prefer if it were their knife. So, which would you guys prefer? .45 or .357? The .45 says "Federal .45 Auto" and the .357 says "RP .357 REM MAX" I guess I'll just count up the votes after a few hours. Thanks!

Answer is obvious. Get the round which you shoot the most or your favorite gun is in. Doesn't really matter which is better if you don't own one or the other or if you don't use one or the other much or what we think is better. What do you use? What do you carry? For me it would be a 9mm because I EDC a Glock 26 everyday.

.45 for sure for a CCW. a .357 in a concealable package will have less rounds, weigh as much as a 1911, and it will have much more aggressive recoil.

1911 officers shoots very smooth.

Maybe it's because I don't shoot 357 but I would pick 45 ACP as that's easily recognizable.

I agree with Craytab as well. What ever your favorite round is, is what it should be. I personally have always favored 357mag rds in my revolvers, so that would be what i would use.

Alright, well a combination of this thread and some opinions from co workers have lead me to the conclusion that I'll be using the .45 cap. Thanks guys!
