Let me say right off that I have no desire to own a light weight, small frame 357 Mag or 38 Special. I have three S&W J frame 38 Specials, two Model 36s and a Model 60, the Stainless version of the Model 36. Firing these small, steel framed 38s is all the recoil I want to handle. I can't imagine shooting a 357 Mag version.
I was at the range yesterday and a pal had a Ruger LCR. Five shot 38 Special. He asked if I wanted to try it. I remember I shot one a few years ago and did not care for the trigger. He handed me five rounds of ammunition. I was shooting one handed. First shot, ouch! Plus the gun jumped way up. Second shot, ouch again. I emptied the gun and gave him back the three unfired rounds. We both had a good laugh over it. Maybe if I had tried it two hands I would have liked it a bit better.
Call me a sissy if you want, but the Ruger LCR is not on my Christmas list.
