I have found that the recoil in the Bond is very well managed as it is mostly in the palm and not the web of the hand. Since Taurus came out with the Judge series a few years ago,that ammo companies have really put out a number of quality self defense loads in 410 and 45LC.

Take a look at ten years back and compare the 410 ammo alone. It is quite an improvement.

Kind of hard to choose between 410 000 buck and the Winchester PDX
or Hornady Critical Defense rounds.
