Well, from a marketing perspective, "they made you look"
In terms of practical utility, it's another "what's the point" round. For which, there's no ammo you can find these days.
Since the .38 Special and the 9mm Luger were developed, about 125 years ago, developments in powder and bullets have made enough improvement in performance to keep them in the program for their intended use. All the fluff since is marketing. I sort of see the utility of the .32 H&R for anyone intimidated by the viscous recoil of hot 38 or 9mm loads
but the rest of the pack, ???Or, I'm just being old and stuck in the past. Somehow I'll make it to the grave with my .38 Specials and 9mm's. For which I have buckets of brass, and bullets. Haven't needed $100 per K primers, or $50/lb powders, yet.
