I have an early Charter 3", and used to carry a 21/2" M19, so this is alloy frame vs. steel frame. To me, the .357, even with 110g bullets, is a sharper recoil than the .44 with 240s. All recoil is subjective, but to me the .44 Spl is softer. And, as noted, the muzzle bast is something - about a 2 foot fireball in the bright AZ sun.
(When we were issued Super Vel 110g JHP, we said "If you hit, it cauterizes the wound, and if you miss is sets their clothes on fire to mark them for identification.")
BTW, my Charter wears the Pachmeyer rubber grips, which also softens the recoil. They may be hard to find these days.
