Anyone has input on S&W 396 .44 special?

Well, I have the s&w on deposit, will come home by Thursday. I figure if I don't like the recoil, I can trade it.
 
as already mentioned... I love mine... I would be happy to buy a 2nd at that price... ( they go for much more than that on Gun Broker when they show up )I shoot a lot of magnum revolvers so YMMV but I don't find it at all unpleasant to shoot with factory self defense loads like Speer Gold Dots or Buffalo Bore standard pressure loads... I'm currently handloading for it using Hornady XTP's & Starline cases...
 
Searching the forum for a 396 I found this thread and the price makes me cry. I'm in the market for one and haven't found one under $900.
 
Mapshanshere,
I will give you an update. Ended up buying it for $460 out the door and it was in great condition. No scratches, nothing.

Then I wanted a XD mod 2 and got stupid and sold it. Got the XD but wish I would have kept it.
