A person who shoots a snub-nose .357 with magnum ammo on a regular basis in low-light or no light situations can probably tolerate what most people would call terrific flash, muzzle blast, substantial recoil, and slower than normal recovery time. This has to be experienced to be believed by some.
For the casual concealed carry person who shoots infrequently, such a gun & ammo would generally be a very poor choice. Additionally, a snub nose gun, particularly a light one, even using the mildest of .38 Special ammo is generally more difficult to shoot well than a full-sized revolver. In the daytime. In good light.
