Range day. I nailed down my 357 Mag Hydroshok load. I also met a guy who had some unusual guns that he let me shoot. The first was a Coonan 1911 in .357 Mag. It was a handful as it had a long grip. The kick was a little more than my S&W model 65 357mag. I also got to shoot his 357 Auto Mag. This was the first 357 Auto Mag I had ever seen. The gun was originally a 44 Auto Mag that was re-barreled to 357 when the 44 barrel wore out. It shot like a hot 10mm. I wouldn't want to shoot it on a regular basis. The 357 uses the same shell as the 44 Auto mag but it is necked down to 357. 

Not counting the Coonan 357 and the Auto Mag 357 I shot 66 .357Mag, 99 45GAP, and 103 9mm. The 99 GAP is 10 mags loaded with 9 rounds. The 9mm in 4 mags of 10 rounds and 6 mags of 9 rounds. I usually arrive with the 9 and 45 loaded up and it takes just under an hour as this is my standard range trip.  The 357 is not going to be a regular at the range as it is destined to be the "truck gun".
