Thanks for the feedback, people. "Brutal" recoil refers to the scar tissue build-up in the web of my shooting hand. Had surgery for it years ago, am trying to put off a second procedure.

Interesting theory about the lightweight bbl/increased recoil! You are probably correct. My 625JM is much 'friendlier' probably because it is heavier. As you both say, still amazing, somewhat hard to believe. Appreciate the good words. Have a safe holiday.
