Not bad at all. But I was using a shooting glove. My hand didn't hurt (much) but my wrist did. One hell of a gun to shoot!

I have a Bond in .44 mag as well. It is a real thumper. I shoot 240 grain JSP through mine and it'll get whatever needs done - done.

I can't imagine a more powerful pocket gun. Accurate enough out to 10-15 yards. I would assume that most would agree that one round out of this gun into COM would perform much better than one round out of ANY of the usually lauded pocket guns.

Thanks for the great testing!
