This is going to have massive recoil. It only weighs 21-22ozs and a 357 is a hefty round. Your Glock has a recoil spring to absorb some of the recoil, the revolver doesn't. If you're recoil sensitive, this gun may not be for you.
Hi Tad, recoil is actually going to be very similar. I shoot 40 and 38 +P. The revolver just has a sharper recoil impulse than the 40 due to the softer recirc feature of the semi-auto. Any non recirc firearm will do this. Shorter revolver barrel + less weight + non gas recirulation + sharper recoil impulse makes the 2 actually very similar in actual recoil. (I can see the numbers matching if you are talking a stout 357Mag load though).

I once had an m&p 360. With hot loaded 357 magnum loads it would roll back in my hand and take my trigger finger with it. I got rid of that gun because my 500 s&w had less recoil. I have a ruger sp101 in 357 that does fine. The steel frame makes a lot of difference in felt recoil and I won't own another lightweight magnum revolver.
