Well, I know they're loud.
The cartridge is primarily a plinker. It's marginal for hunting, even in a rifle. A 6" .357 will provide the same or better velocity with a 110-grain bullet, and obviously can be loaded with heavier bullets for hunting and self-defense.
A 110-grain hot load in a .357 is not particularly notable as to recoil, so I'd guess the Ruger pistol in .30 carbine would not, either.
It would be a reasonably fun plinker, and with handloads would make a good rabbit/coyote collector, at closer ranges.
FWIW, Art
