I have a Ruger SP101 2.25' and a Kimber K6s 2".
I can and have shot with a fair amount of comfort 125 gr in the Ruger.
However, the Kimber, is not the gun for me in 357 Mag. Old age and arthritis have reduced my "manliness" and the Kimber has pretty much been relegated to 38 Special. Thankfully that has caused me to research and have a fair amount of confidence in several 38 Special loads for SD.
However I am getting ready to order some 110 gr 357 ammo to experiment with in the 2" Kimber and see if the recoil is tolerable.
Do any of you have experience with 110 gr 357 in a snub nose? Recoil is my main concern, but I am sure you folks will point out some thinks I have not though of.
On a side note: I can shoot the lights out with the SP101, but for some reason accuracy with the Kimber eludes me.
Oh, my 38 special rounds for SD have come down to either of the following (with recoil being a high priority):
Underwood 100 gr +p (or non +p) Extreme Defender (this round has proved to be very accurate even in the Kimber.)
Hornady Critical Defense 110 gr +p (or non +p)
Federal HST Micro (also consistently accurate)
Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel.
Oh, if I can not figure out how to shoot the Kimber better I will sell it or give it to my wife (she saw it and liked it while I was getting ready to clean it) and get a 686 plus 2.5". And why I want another handgun or rifle I will never know, but most of you have that affliction also I am sure....lol!
Thanks
