Not a bad choice there. People rave about how awesome the trigger is.

However today at a gun shop the owner down sells me on the .357 talking about over penetration etc.

Like dawg and Tiger said, as long as you go with quality ammo, you should be fine.

I only want for ccw and one day will be wifes ccw in purse in .38 but in meantime i was thinking .357 would suit me better.

I think the KLCR is a good choice.

My advice would be to go to the range with it and test how it feels back to back with some good 357 (I think PDX1s and Critical Defense are pretty mild) and then test it with some 38+p ammo. If you can handle the stout recoil, stick with 357. If it's too much for you, switch to the 38+p stuff.

But if you want more weight from the start, you can do as they suggested also. The Ruger SP101 is also a great choice and should get the job done just fine. It just weighs substantially more.
