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.
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.
