Simple physics. All that energy has to go somewhere, and in the revolver, there are no springs and slide movement to absorb any of it. With muzzle energy roughly equivalent, the chamber energy that doesn't get used in cycling the action has to wind up as either recoil or flash/bang.ELB wrote:The Model 19 definitely won the flash and bang contest. Sharp recoil, LOUD CRACK, big flash, at least by my perceptions. My dog agreed. He watched me shoot a .357 Sig from the front porch about 30-40 yards away. When I switched to the .357 round, he got up and went around to the other side of the house.
