Smith & Wesson Model 360PD
At Gun, Holsters & Gear, JayG reviews a flamethrower the lightweight Smith & Wesson Model 360PD
The recoil of a .357 Magnum round through a 12 ounce handgun has been described as anywhere from “stout” to “punishing” to “oh my word what have I done to my wrist”. This author has, on more than one occasion, offered the 360PD to accomplished shooters who are curious to see what a 12 ounce .357 Magnum revolver feels like to shoot – and gotten the snubbie back after only two rounds.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I carry my 340pd with the newer crimson trace grips that have the built-in recoil absorbing cushion on the backstrap. It helps a lot with the recoil and is surprisingly LESS bulky than the original grips. Still, I carry it loaded with corbon .38spl DPX rounds.
I couldn't help but laugh (a lot) while reading this, and the resulting comments.
