It all depends on how hot the loads are, but in general is say about like double that of just a 38spcl. Its really hard to describe bit its not horrible at all. Check out people shooting them on YouTube for a better idea. Good luck

Mark, Buy it you'll love it. Hold on you'll be fine.

Mark, recoil will be proportionate to the power of the load you are firing. Heavy loads will tax the wrists a bit. The SP101 can handle them though. I would also look into the beautiful Talo Edition Wiley Clapp as well : -- http://www.taloinc.com/ruger-firearms/ruger-sp101-wiley-clapp -- (https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/415010289/ruger+sp101+wiley+clapp+357+mag+3+stainless+steel)

with heavy 357 loads it will have a good amount of recoil it is a gun best suited for practice with 38 specials and carry with 357
