Since I was a youngster I have always noticed the masive flash and piercing sound of the 357 MAG. Even the 44's with more power arent as piercing... one other to try (If you can find) is the 357 Maximum...Its pretty nasty. The other fun wrist snapper is the 500 SW Mag....yamma hamma...better use 2 hands with that one...LOL
Whats up with the after shot head snap back (delayed head jerk)...I mayhave someone video me to see if I do this? LOL I have a pair of these and had to send one back to PC for new WL Barrel (bad crown job). At 30' it had a decent 3" group but the group was 7" left and 2" low....(2 shooter verification) bad crown at 2 oclock to 4 oclock caused it...(so we think?). This lil power house fits 8 rounds of 357 in your 5.11 pocket..nice size with ample firepower for sure...
@JONISTI1 didn't notice until i read your comment here, but you're right. I'm new to shooting .357, but last time I shot with my GP-100 (6 inch barrel, btw), I was surprised by the warm blast of air from the Magnum loads. Maybe he got the same feeling?
Yeah... the recoil is THAT MUCH. This thing is BRUTAL with Magnum loads, especially if You don't have an excellent grip on this gun. If the grips feel awkward during dry fire, it will probably hurt when You fire a Mag load. Very loud, very powerful, this gun must be trained often if using for Personal Defense... or You won't hit the broad side of a barn!
To everyone pissing about the flinch on the recoil, I was just checking one of these out on Friday. The thing is SUPER light. So combine mag + snub + light gun on top of it, and yeah the dude is going to have some trouble. I was looking at the 5 inch barrel one and even it was super light for something like that.
this gun it way to light.....its kicking like a horse...lol

@decimator22 ... the 'guy WHO is robbing you blind' isn't going to be 15 yds. away either. No go and 'decimate' s.t with your .22

Snubs and mags are a poor paring. Most of the powder burns outside the muzzle. Lots of flash, smoke, and recoil.
There are now special magnum loads for snubbies. Faster burning powders.
Look into +P or +P+ 38 special loads. They should give less recoil and still give you higher veloicity..
Dont forget the old 148 gr wadcutter 38 load. That was THE load for decades.
Nice gun enjpy it.

you should shoot double action, the guy that is robbing you blind wont wait for you to re-cock the hammer every time you shoot.
decimator22 2 years ago 10
@decimator22 he can't resist the recoil single action mode what would it be in double-action mode?
i wonder is the recoil really that much?

@decimator22 Yeah, you wait to recock as he is running away for better accuracy. Just joking!

@decimator22 when you shoot a robber you dont have to "re-cock". at that point he should be dead.

Why the head jerk?

It might help to practice with 38 special. Those mags really kick.
