That's debatable.
A full power 125gr 357 mag self defense load out of a 4" barrel is going to give much more penetration than any 9mm load will out of any handgun. You have a much better chance of getting someone behind cover or wearing very heavy clothing with the magnum. You have to get a 10mm to match .357 performance in a semi auto.
It's just a personal choice. The term "6 for sure" applies as well. The 8 shot smiths someone mentioned earlier are fantastic self defense weapons, but they're a bit big to conceal IMO
