My Ruger SP101 is 25 ounces empty and with 110gr JHP the recoil is fine. With 158gr SWC +P .38 it's not bad either.

My scandium j-frame .357 weights 12 oz, and I run it all through it (though no more than 10 at any one time). And shooting it simulates holding a large firecracker in your hand through explosion!

When my Taurus 651 titanium is loaded up with six .357 125grain JHPs, it weighs 19.3 ounces, although please note that I changed the stock grips to Uncle Mike's boot grips, so your weights may vary.
I find these painful to shoot, and shoot no more than 5-10 rounds at any one session. In contrast, however, the .38 +P Speer Gold Dots 135 grain JHP optimized for the short barrel, is easier to shoot, and that is my standard carry load.

625,
I do own one, and frankly "not very pleasant" and "no fun at all" seem somehow inadequate to accurately describe the intense pain of shooting the mini-cannons. Kinda like saying Ted Kennedy does not like gun owners. Somehow, the statement just does not go far enough. Know what I mean?

Can you please be specific as to how much your firearm weighs which particular ammo you were using and what your perceptions were

Berettafan21,
I will answer as to my model 340 Smith scandium .357:
"how much your firearm weighs"....12 ozs.
"which particular ammo"....ANY magnum .357
"what your perceptions were"....initially there is a tremendous pain in the palm of the hand, particularly in the joint between the thumb and the actual palm; that gets substantially worse with each shot taken, up to a maximum of 10 shots; by that point, there is a visibly throbbing motion in the entire hand...now tinted a purple color...and a sharp ache in the elbow joint of the shooting arm; your hands are shaking so badly that getting a key in the ignition is difficult and writing your signature impossible. Later on in the day, there are sharp stinging sensations throughout your hand and shooting arm as the nerves attempt recovery from the abuse. After a couple of days, the palm color lightens to green and thereafter a yellow color resembling diluted urine. A week or so later, you are somewhat completely recovered from the experience.
Helpful?
