I put 50 .357 Magnum rounds (Hornady Critical Defense) through my everyday carry gun today. Target was at 12 yards and all shots were double action. I have a safe full of handguns, but this is my go to favorite.
I have a model 60 thats very similar. I am wondering did you shoot 50 rounds with the grips in the pic? Also I have never shot the Critical defense 357 rounds. I am wondering how they are recoil wise.
This one is a model 649. I did shoot all rounds with those grips (Hogue XTreme). They are excellent grips. The recoil seemed about the same as any other 125 gr. .357, no better, no worse.
