Re: shrouded hammer airlite?
I have a model 342 in .38 Spl. I love it, but the recoil can be suprising, my friends call it "the angry gun".
Sorry just saw the 357 edit."You never lived till you almost died, for those who have fought for it, freedom has a flavor the protected will never know"

Sportsman's Supply in Butler just had one in their case last friday.
I'm beginning to think I'm an advertisement for them.

Ronin has a S&W in 357. What model J frame i dont remember but shooting that thing with the 357 loads is insane... Im not even sure a magnum rifle cartridge has that much kick. Especially since his only weighs between 5 and 7 ounces empty. He likes to say hes a glutton for punishment.
Our one friend nearly dropped it the first time he fired it. It was like watching it jump out of both of his hands.Freedom is paid with the blood of those who understand what being free really means. (Me)

Re: shrouded hammer airlite?
I must be a "manly-man" because I do NOT have any problem with shooting my S&W 642 with .38 S&W Specials.
In ya'lls defense, I do roll-my-own cartridges using low to mid-range powder charges for practice only. I carry with store bought rounds for the ACLU.
You could look for the 'lightest' bullet weight (presumably with a lighter powder charge), at least for practice. Save the elephant loads for CCW, you may be less likely to flinch in a pinch.
Had I thought I would have bought a shrouded hammer vs. a concealed hammer for the ability to cock the weapon for single action accuracy or half cock it to revolve the cylinder just in case of a high primer or other jamb.
