Options are Good .
A .357 is all about options .
Kanastra hasn't shared his amount of Revolver experience ( leastways not in this thread ) . Don't want to assume either way . An old school Revolver True Believer ? ( I resemble that remark ) New to the Revolver ? Kind of in the middle ? Moderate kickers so far , or channeling the Ghost of Elmer Keith ? ( Youngsters google him .)
While the Gun doesn't require breaking in , it is good for the shooter to start out at a medium power level to get used to the balance and sight picture of a new to them gun , and to learn its DA trigger .
As you achieve ( groups at least as small as you shoot with tupperware ) at reasonably expeditious pace, step up incrementally in power ( aka recoil ) , until you shoot those as well as the previous level .
Joshing, and insider humor aside , full tilt boogie .357 loads ( in anything smaller than N Frame ) are rather dramatic , and a handful to control in rapid rife . ( It CAN be done, but requires good technique and frequent practice to maintain . Heck right now , I'd have to put in some trigger time before feeling confident to load the hot stuff for social purposes .)
Work your way up from .38 +P to "Medium " Magnums, which is a quite respectable level in its own right .
If the OP is a serious Revolver Guy , no offense , just consider this rambling post a service to those out there just starting, or contemplating a magnum revolver .
