OK... I opened my eyes and did a little bit of reading.. With three computer/monitors on my desk and multitasking, I'm still workin too so you tax payers are getting your money's worth from me today. I guess it could be a nice little round in a 6" barrel. Anything shorter, and the velocities won't be there unless you burn a pretty fast powder and then the recoil is going to snap more. Still limited to some 100-115gn bullets. (If you can't tell, I'm not really a 9mm fan either) Light bullets, no matter how fast they're moving don't deliver the terminal energy on say a close and confronting Bear the way a heavier bullet from a 357.

The energy stats puts this one in between 38spl.. +p and a 357. So, recoil will be between the two in a given gun of the same weight. Does it equal the 357? NO!  Especially because you can't get a heavier bullet for it.

5 shots.. 6 shots... 7?  7 shots from a revolver is cylinder timing nightmare.  (Ruger GP100)

Sas has one and really likes it.  For her frame size was key.  She handles it well and packing it is easy for her.  Still shooting factory rounds as we are needing brass.   She has the SP101 stainless.   Thinking about the laser grips for her, her shooting should be close.

Not certain but I think I remember ICEMAN had or was wanting one awhile back. He might have some info. I considered it before I bought my .357 but didn't go that route.

Yeah, I was checking out the round after that old guy down in Vancouver (?) shot a threatening pitbull with his and it seemed to do the job nicely. cool round. I would love one....
