Kevin,
I agree with you on the short barrel SP101 .357Mag but it is what I have and wanted to try these short barrel ammo. I figured I might as well see how it shoots. I have a 686 with a 4" and like it better but do not carry this 4" one.
Funny thing is we say the 2" barrel 357Mags are worthless yet they are made by S&W in their various configurations. So they must be selling.
I do not find the recoil excessive with full .357Mag loads in the SP101 because I have Hogue grips but I also do not shoot 100's at a time. But I bet this short barrel .357 Mag will put a person in its place in a defense stance.
I have a short barrel S&W revolver that I got from my dad and it is probably 40 years old. Will also see about the .38 P loads for this too.
I am heading to the gun show this weekend and want to pick up some .357Mag short barrel ammo while there and also check out the Kahr line of 9mm and maybe the S&W too as I thought of buying one by the end of the year.
