I had a 6.5" no compensator and the 340 PD in Ti/Sc at I believe 11OZ. The 500 with 700 Gr loads is a real hand(s) full. Hard recoil. It hurts your hand right in the palm. Leaves a pretty nasty bruise if you hold on for a couple of cylinders. The 340PD with hot 357 loads...hurts just as much but in a different area. That little gun twists in my hand and really hurts my fingers. Very different pain. But pain just the same. I sold the 340PD after 1 trip to the range. No need to keep a CCW if I can't really hold on to it and follow up well. The SW500 I sold as well but not because I didn't like it. Also I kept it quite awhile. The lighter 350 gr loads are still really hefty but nothing like a 700 gr monster. It will still leave bruises if you shoot more than 1 or 2 cylinders.
