I've been to the range recently (Sunday) and I now have shot about 1300 rounds through mine.
Current rounds (reloads) are 158-gr. LSWCs in two cartridges--38 Spls running about 800 fps, and 357 Magnum loads running 900 fps.
The recoil is stout with the latter, but my hand is now well-calloused and conditioned and I experience no undue discomfort.
