I hope you've already bought that $600 dollar 329PD by now! That's a heck of a deal.

I have fun shooting mine with .44 Special level handloads and it is an absolute joy to carry. Full power handloads or factory magnums will leave your hand stinging after a cylinder full, but it's manageable for a handgunner with some experience. Heavy loads, e.g. 300 grainers or Garrett's specialty ammo, would be nasty, for sure.

YMMV . . .
