I did get a chance to put a few rounds through my new Bond Arms .357 Mag. The recoil was not as severe as I imagined it might be, was pretty loud with respect to my two Smith 686’s. Accuracy had some to be desired at 10 yrds. but will try some different ammo it may make a different, my groups were in the 12″ range so good enough I guess for close in but prefer a much smaller group. I have installed the extended packmyer grips which should help some.
