If you find the recoil harsh order a x frame hogue grip it makes a great improvement in this revolver. There are lots of different loadings to suit just about any taste in 44special. I hope you enjoy your new revolver as much as I am..it really carries like a dream, so light and with the Hogue grip that came on the S&W500 it shoots great! I'm very happy with the accuracy after changing out the v-notch rear sight to a square notch, best $20 I ever spent on sights. I would not be concerned with recoil with 44 special, and if you look to Buffalo Bore there's a good load for 44special that is a good match for the 329pd. I bought a Guides Choice leather chest holster from Diamond D and would recommend the holster to anyone looking for trail/woods carry it fits well and works great. Easy on easy off and great craftsmanship.
