I'm thinking about a G27 when my CCW comes in. I'm curious about recoil and blast. I have a S&W M60 .357 that I have shot some fairly heavy loads from (158 grain FMJ Aguila .357, 158 grain HSHP Federal Personal Defense .357). The hottest factory .357 I really want to shoot are Winchester "white box" 110 grainers. I've also shot 125 grain Golden Sabers, still a bit too warm. I don't have any sensitivity to any .38 +P's I've shot in it. I don't shoot +P's in my S&W M36 so I can't compare.
If you or anybody else has had experience with both the G27 and lightweight .357 snubs, I'd sure appreciate any comparisons you could make.
