.357 Magnum is unpleasant enough for a snub nose, all steel, K-Frame. No way I'd touch one off in an Airweight J-Frame.
On a dare, I once shot 5 full-strength .357s into a fairly snug group at 7 yards from a loaner S&W 360 AirLite Ti to impress some California Division of Forestry Law Enforcement Officers, with whom I was teaching an LE seminar on the North Coast. It was maybe 25 years ago. Never even remotely considered doing THAT again!
It was done all double action, and I was holding on so tightly that I could likely have bent that Scandium-aluminum frame.
