I heard it on good authority that the recoil of the Night Guard is "tolerable", so when I came across a NIB Model 357 for $649, I snatched it up.
Cast 220gr SWC at ~1000fps are very comfortable shooting even with the Ahrends grips. 210gr JSP at ~1325fps are tolerable waaaaay
more so than a 158gr JHP 357 Magnum round in a M&P 340.
The Night Guard in my opinion is an excellent N frame carry package.
Grips are by Ahrends and leather is by Simply Rugged.
