I have a 357 mag Model 94 Marlin with the Williams Foolproof rear sight. It is great. Get the Foolproof because the rifle shoots to different POI with the wide variety of ammo available for it. The click adjustments make re zeroing a snap. Mine shoots best with 357 mag S&B 158 gr jsp or the Miwal 160 gr +P+ hunting load. The recoil is mild with magnum loads and nonexistent with 38 specials. You can figure the ballistics by adding about 300 fps to the factory pistol muzzle velocity.
This carbine is a joy to shoot -- believe me you'll love it and shoot it often. The 38/357 ammo is much cheaper to fire than the 44 mag. You can prctice on an indoor range. The power level is decisive for HD situations.
158 gr goes out the muzzle at about 1800 fps.
