    What muzzle flip? There is basically no muzzle flip. Those were shot at 15 yards.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    While the .357 Magnum is an effective round...I would argue that two fast shots on target with an effective .38 Special is better than one loud blast with a .357 that you either have to take time to pull out of recoil for a follow-up or have to pick up after you drop it and grab your ears in pain. Of course that can change depending of you're indoors or out. Indoors even a .22 can be ear shattering if you're not prepared.

    It's kinda like the difference between a 9mm and a 10mm pistol. Both can be highly effective but depending on training and environment one might be harder to deal with.

    Well, except that with 10mm or the right 357 load if you miss the first shot the muzzle blast will likely incinerate them. So there is that.

    The weight above the bore centerlne actually reduces muzzle flip. It is like torque turning a wheel. The greater the distance from center, the more the torque is reduced. Put another way, the leverage bar is shorter.

    So this handgun’s shooting demeanor is effected not only by the lowered bore centerline but also by the weight and distance above bore centerline

    Thanks for the info. To be honest, I don't care about the physics as long as it works, and it works really well.

    Those ballastics may be for lever guns. That is what lever evolution is designed for.

    Surprising perhaps, but 357 is one cartridge that definitely gets a real boost when fired in a rifle.

    I am very confident in saying that this 140 grain LeverEvolution ammo will chronograph at north of 1800 FPS out of a lever action.

    What I mean is I doubt care it if is the low barrel axis, the counterweight above the barrel, or pixie dust coating. It works well and that's all I care about.
