Ow. I figure as long as I'm sending it to Magna-Port, I'll have them slick
it up.

Magna port won't help that much.

I have no personal experience with tiny ported guns, but, test reviews
I 've read indicate a reduction in felt recoil to about an unported
..38+P. That's why I'm going to shoot a few of all three types of ammo
before having it ported, so I can feel whatever difference there is. I
already know .38+P from my lightweight alloy Bodyguard hurts.

The problem isn't there, but in the
sharpness of the recoil. Get a PAST shooting glove to practice if you
really need to. What you really need isn't practice for 3 meter gun, but
rather function testing which the glove will help you with.

Nah. If I really ever need it, I won't feel the recoil until after the
smoke has cleared and the police reports are taken. I may use a PAST
glove for practice, but, but I've never had to before.

Also check how little the 357 gives you over the 38.

Just a little. I'll take whatever I can get.

Finally, try it at
night at your range. It'll blind you.

Here I do have some experience. I spent range time at night in one of
my LFI courses shooting hot factory .357s out of a 4 inch S&W 28 with a
barrel/cylinder gap you could drive a truck through (it was a retired
Georgia State Police gun and was real reliable if not very tight). My
first round lit up the entire range and brought a hushed silence from
the class, followed by a chorus of "HOLY [censored]! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?"

As a group, we had two observations. One, in total darkness, it is
quite posible to use the flash from the first round to locate and
identify your opponent, and two, you could still see well enough to do
so, even after the fireball subsided.

And, even if I miss, the bad guy's gonna' have to change his underwear
