Wanting to purchase this for competition. But I’ve never shot a 357 sig and was wondering how you’d compare the recoil. 9mm? 40cal? .45?

I find it less recoil that the .40 but heavier that the 9mm to me its closest to my .38 super
.45 Hard recoil, .40 Medium, 9mm Softer I'd say it's between the 9 and 40.
Recoil is at the 40cal level. It is a slightly shorter but snappier recoil pulse than the 40S&W (due to the lighter bullet) but overall very similar other than duration.
