Before I bought my first Scandium J-frame (M360) I read a number of comments about the recoil. The most imaginative was something along the lines of:
Quote:
My 55-y.o. wrists would not appreciate that recoil. In fact, when asked, I usually say, "I sold the last one about six years ago...and my wrist still hurts." |

I own a 329PD. I've been told the .357 version kicks worse.
It really depends what grips you shot it with. My 329 with the stock wood grips or even the stock rubber grips, versus after I put on 500SW grips, was night and day. I can shoot several cylinders of top end 240s now with no bad effects, but I will say I would not go over 300gr bullets even for bears....it would effectively become a single shot as you would never get it back on target before the bear was on you. I very much enjoy shooting it with mid range (1100-1200ish fps) 240gr loads. It's just a little harder to hold tight groups than it would be with its steel cousin. |
