.....to shoot .357 magnum out of a snubbie. Yowzer!! :what:

This was a stainless model 60 and I thought the gun was going to blow apart with the 125 grain jhp I was shooting. I cant begin to imagine how much **more** fun it is from a part polymer revolver like the LCP.
 
I recently found the "perfect" load for me and my .357 snubbie. It is a hornady 158 grain over 7.5 grains of unique and a CCI 500 primer. The max load is listed at 7.7 grains of unique but I really like the 7.5 grains and found no need to try out the max load of 7.7 grains of unique. Oh and yes it is a blast to shoot out of my S&W 19 snubbie.
 
Big Fan of Big Booming Guns!

The bigger they are ,the harder they bite, the deeper I love them BIG BOOMING guns, pistols, long guns, and my very favorite Shot guns !
 
My Dad has a LCR. He said you'll shoot the first 3 out of it, but you'll leave 4&5 alone.

.357's out of an LCR are certainly something. It is a "hang on tight" experience, but not what I'd call abusive. It leaves me smiling in any case.
 
The older I get the less massive recoil/blast/noise appeal to me. Had my share of days where the 44 mag was my best buddy. Thankfully gone for a while anyway.

I enjoy haymakers too. If you ever get a chance to shoot a 460 mag out of a 5" or shorter bbl, do it. It is a lot of fun.
