BTW, it could be called the "Nancy Pelosi lady ****" and I'd still carry it; it is that nice of a gun.

For me the biggest rap on .357 in a J frame is not the recoil tolerance as much the time between shots. I can place 5 shots of .38 +P in a 6" circle at 15 yards in a very quick time; however, .357 starts to expand those time gaps not to mention the group also opens up. If I could put the .357 in a tight time and space group I would deal with the recoil but so far it hasn't worked that way. I would stick with .38 +P and a set of Ahrends or Herrett short j frame grips. I like the Federal but use Speer +P 129 grain load.
