I'm considering purchasing a Ruger GP100 with a 6 inch barrel for home defense/truck gun/woods
do you think they'd have too much recoil, blast, flash and muzzle flip to be good for defense if loaded with a decently powered 125 grain load, like the Federal 357b or 145 grain winchester silver tip?
I know I could load it down to .38 special, but that gives up the advantage of having a .357 mag. I'd rather just get a .45 auto than use .38 Special.
