A 4" K-frame with full house 125 gr. Magnum loads is an attention getter for me. I can shoot it pretty well but I really have to stay focused and also limit my practice sessions to no more than 100 rounds. Remington used to make a mid-range 125 gr. load that ran at 1,250 fps instead of the full house 1,450 fps velocity. I really liked that load or the 145 gr. Winchester Silvertip hollow points. Those two didn't have that obnoxious muzzle blast of the full velocity loads.
I believe Remington still makes a mid-range .357 Golden Saber. Might want to check.
I have a pile of them. That is what I use when I carry the Model 60 3" lugged barrel.
Not crazy recoil. Pretty good recovery and low (lower) flash powder is used in them.
