I've used some advertised "low recoil" .357 Magnum in one of my M&P 340's, and it still hammers the palm of my hand and snaps the little gun upward hard enough to batter the knuckle of my index finger. If it's "low recoil", you could've fooled me. 
Using ammunition that maximizes her ability to shoot without flinching, accurately, is better than a walloping load that makes her flinch and miss.
Just my thoughts, anyway. |
Ditto all of that, especially the knuckle skin tear.I shot that low recoil 357 last week. If it is Fed 130g and also says high energy, that is a contradiction in terms for sure. That was a 400 Ft/Lb round. The critical defense non +P 110 is about 172 ft/lb for comparison, and to possibly put felt recoil in perspective. If OP were near me I'd give you some to try.
