I just purchased a s&w 649. I originally was going to get a Glock 19 but my wife has some arthritis in her hands and could not adequately work the slide. It will arrive next week and the gunsmith where I bought it is doing a trigger job on it for easier firing.
I have seen some posts saying firing .357 rounds through it will have a very tough recoil but others have said its not that bad. I bought it because it felt great in my hand and my wife liked it also. I went with the .357 for maximum defense but like the fact it also fires .38 rounds. We will be shooting it at the range. I also like the conceal capability. My son-in-law has a compact .45 Tarus auto and I have fired it and my wife has also. The gunsmith who ordered this gun for me said if I had no problem with the recoil from that gun, I would be fine.
Anyone have this gun? Would like feedback.
