"I always get a kick at the looks I get when I fire my .357 snubby. BIG BOOM in tiny gun."

LOL. And the recoil from that weapon is three times what an AR-15 has. Or more. I've got a Ruger LCR .357 snubby and I don't like to fire more than 6 rounds of .357 out of it when I go to the range. I can shoot a AR-15 all day long. But you are right - the whole range looks your way when you shoot that snubby because it's so loud. I also like the way the flames shoot out the barrel and from around the cylinder.

Spot on. It's not a fun gun to shoot. Mine is a hammerless, SS Taurus. It's my primary carry weapon. It's reliable and rugged. Whenever I let someone else fire .357 through it, I always caution them on thumb placement, primarily because of that flash from the wheel. Whenever I go to the range, I put at least 10 rounds of .357 through it to stay sharp. Beyond that it gets uncomfortable. The only fun part about it is when it draws attention from others at the range. "You want to shoot it?" "Naw. I'll pass." - LOL
