I find .357 hard to control. .38 spl is a breeze obviously. How do you get more comfortable with a larger caliber?

no need, buy a glock 19
NPC programming at work, nothing to see here.
build hand, wrist, and forearm strength
Strength has very little to do with it. Watch these guys shoot a super hard recoiling revolver. The young guys are really bearing down on the grip and they still nearly lose control of the gun on multiple occasions. Then watch the old man shoot. He has noodle arms by comparison but he is much more competent because his technique doesn't suck.
I shoot 357 from my snub ruger lcr and it's not at all painful. Just work on trigger control. Don't choke the grip because it'll just fatigue you quicker and make you throw shots. It should be comfortable, maybe even slightly relaxed. The gun isn't going anywhere. Relax your forearm and wrist enough to have a crisp, smooth trigger pull with perfect sight picture every time.
heavier gun or shorter barrel can assist
Shoot moar
thumb. Use more thumb. A good revolver grip has enough area to press into. Your thumb can pull the gun down and back using a bit more force than your using with your other fingers. Never shot a GP100 so ymmv, but works with my Python
Gawd thats hot. A shame the new ones look like pakistan specials
>357 mag
>larger caliber than 38spl
based illiterate
NTA but that anon was laughing because both cartridges are the same "caliber" bullet diameter.
yeah, so is 9mm
people still refer to cartridges as 'calibers' in idiomatic usage even though caliber technically refers only to bullet diameter
>yeah, so is 9mm
Nope. 9mm = .355"
>people still refer
Continue being wrong because "everybudy else is dumb also" then and carry on.
do you walk up to everyone at the range who refers to a magazine as a clip and correct them?
>uses public ranges with rules and RO's
kek, I visited one a couple times for competitions, about it.
Technically 9mm is .355 instead of .357
>instead of .357
and .357 is technically .358"
Only for cast bullets.
The projectiles that are used for .357 Magnum are actually their stated diameter, but the bore's lands and grooves measure .346 and .355 respectively.
357s and 38 Cals use the same barrel dimensions as 9mm.
well he's being pedantic and annoying
practice, also proper instruction. recoil management is 100% technique until you get to the most hideously powerful calibers.
>longer barrel
>lighter bullets
>softer loads
>hang water bottle from muzzle
>bulk up your bitchwrists
Get a set of those 4 grip strength trainers, start at 50lb until you can crush that all day everyday no problem, then 100lb, then 150lb, and maybe after months and months youll get to 200lb. It'll be no problem by that point. Set cost like $25 on amazon, great investment.
Also get on PrepHole and start working out in general
>I find .357 hard to control.
It's a very mild recoiling round unless you have air airweight Jframe size revolver.
Shoot some .460 S&W for a couple thousand rounds and then you will find your issues gone.
Shoot it a lot and focus on not doing what doesn’t work.. I have a Ruger Alaskan in 454 casull. It’s amazingly fun to shoot. In 45lc I can usually get 2 inch groups at 30 ft. (I’m not a great shot, been shooting for a year now and I have a lot to learn). With 454 at the same range when I first got it I couldn’t reliably get all 6 shots on paper shooting double action… I’m about 200 rounds in and have it down to about 6 rounds at 30 feet in a 10 inch circle…. I’m sure someone is going to say this is terrible, to them I would say you can have all the plans for accuracy in the world but that first hit of 454 tends to recoil them out the window..
TLDR shoot a lot of ammo and practice.. it’s the fun way to get better..
Also different ammo performs different… if you feel 357 has a lot of kick look into some 38 +p or maybe look for 357 training ammo… look for higher velocity with lower bullet grain weight…. The hornady hunter 200 grain 454 is loud but doesn’t have the massive recoil you get out of that Buffalo bore 360 grain, aria 420 grain, or oddly that Winchester ammo….
post sexy revolvers
t. not OP
Like so many have said, try a different grip method. Lots of videos on YouTube you can search. Personally I use Jerry Miculek's small frame style(like a snubby J-frame) for all revolvers and it works for me.
Outside of hunting, why move to .357 over .38 anyway? .38 special has ample penetration for self defense, lower decibel for your ears, less flash, recoil, even more accurate in my experiences. Handload some bunny fart loads and keep enjoying your range time.
Bro my fiancé who’s 5 foot tall with tiny hands shoots my GP100 no problem. Wtf is wrong with you.
If its a gp100 get rid of the finger grooved grip and get the hogue one without grooves. Once you get that you can get your hands higher on the gun apply thumb pressure on the top of the reciever next to hammer. 38 feels like blanks, 357 feels meh and 44 is controlled but does hurt the hands after a while.
