Unless you handload.

I punch a 350gr JHP out of a 14" Contender at about 1300 FPS, and I

Ya but... that is what I would call a "novelty" pistol. They kind of
abuse the whole purpose of a pistol like convenient carry and quick
deployment. Reminds me of the old Burt Reynolds and Clint Eastwood
movie "City Heat". Every time Burt gets a bigger gun Clint has one even
bigger yet. By the end of the movie he is lugging out a huge pistol
with a similar length barrel

Lots of fun seeing what you can do with them though, just not very
practical...
