357 or 45ACP Recoil comparison??

[bnewc75]

Do you like butter or Tabasco on your waffles?

How about a rifle comparison: 7mm Rem mag vs. a 405gr 45/70. The small & fast vs. the big & slow.

44wheelman,

What weight bullet for the 7mm?

I think the .357 is pleasant to shoot in a revolver of adequate weight as long as you have good ear protection. I qualified with full 158 gr swc loads every month for years. That 4" model 66 is still my go to gun. Recoil is manageable if you can muffle that blast.

Just depends on the ammo you use in each one.

I've shot light, +P .45 acp's that matched the bark and bite of a .357 magnum and I've shot mild .357's that matched the soft .45's.

Clear as mud.

When it comes to hot sauces I like the ones with Habenero peppers. Nice and HOT. Tabasco is tasty with some bite.

However, burn in the mouth and other body places will "pass". I have enough hand problems that I don't want to beat on my hands with my handguns. I like 357 in my Ruger Blackhawk, it just flips and rolls, does not smack in the web so much.
