He says he is shooting a modest load. We all believe him. Modest is not a quantifier. Modest compared to, say, Buffalo Bore? Modest compared to .357 velocities. Did you actually look at the video and listen to what he was saying? He made a big deal about how versatile this type of gun was and that you can shoot .38 class loads in it. It was after that when he called these modest. Then you have the cast bullets. That insures he is shooting a fairly light load. I agree with the others, the muzzle blast was very light and there was virtually zero muzzle flash. Maybe your eyes are closed when you shoot your .357 but there is quite a flash with a full load, particularly in a short barrel pistol. I have tube enhancer on this machine and I can clip off some stills from that video if you like. We can compare then to the other video you posted to get an idea about what he is shooting. The only way we would know what he was shooting is if he told us. He did tell us, you just refuse to accept it. I say again. shoot is a video of your rock steady hold and a picture of the ammo, we can judge for ourselves. Otherwise it is just a waste of the bandwidth to continue. I didn't hear or see any numbers in that vid. Why don't you just acknowledge that the video link you posted presumably to show little muzzle flip of a .357 Magnum (with a 3-inch barrel) when using a "proper grip" .... doesn't. Several experienced (and some less experienced) have questioned what type of rounds he was shooting ... the guy in the video calls them "modest" rounds and, most importantly, *you* don't know what he was shooting either. It's ok to be wrong sometimes. All we have is unquantified guesses, no hard date. Zip, zilch. It's certainly okay to question what sorts of rounds he was shooting, but there are no answers. Then why did you offer it as an example of little muzzle flip when shooting a .357 Magnum? You said the minimal flip was due to "proper grip, stance, etc.". Now you admit no one (including you) knows what the hell he was shooting in it. We know one thing. They weren't full powered, factory .357 Magnum rounds. If they were there would be no need for his comment about them being "modest" rounds. This is getting funnier and funnier. Get back to us when you have some data. My comment stands: A heavy pistol with a long barrel helps you control a revolver's muzzle flip, as do a proper grip and stance. Check out some of Jerry Miculek's vids with .357s and .44s. His grip, which I "stole," helps him control muzzle flip. No one is saying there is NO muzzle flip...but it is controllable. -- Republicans . . . the anti-immigrant, anti-contraception, anti-student, anti-middle class, pro-impeachment party that shut down the government last year for no reason. |
