"And there is no semi that has the stopping power of a .357 mag."

Wrong. 10mm auto can actually surpass .357 mag ballistics, with a bigger hole. Lots of LEOs are going back to the 10mm. Just saw one on the street the other day here in Houston on a Dep Sherrif's hip.

I think you are equating the size of the hole with stopping power. But the statistical studies consistently put the .357 mag ahead of 10mm in 1 shot stops. See Marshall's study on this subject.
