I've never had a S&W revolver--thinking about making this possibly my first.

You fired one with the fixed muzzle brake? I've seen comments that one sends tremendous concussion back to the shooter.My teeth and jaw hurt for a week after shooting a cylinder of 460’s.My teeth and jaw hurt for a week after shooting a cylinder of 460’s.

Whaaaat? How is this possible? Since you already have shot .41 mag, just look for a nice Model 57, then get a matching Henry BBS. Mine will be buried with me.I've never had a S&W revolver--thinking about making this possibly my first.

Good info--what I would like to know is does the compensator seem to direct concussion waves back at you, as apparently the braked version does? Are the compensators specific to different cartridges--or just relative to the power of the load you think might be?I have the 8.3" XVR with compensator you can swap out. Shooting 2200 FPS 200 Grain Hornady loads out of it isn't any worse than shooting 44 Mag loads out of my 29-2 or even full strength 45 ACP loads out of my airweight 325 PD.
HK Guns-do you remember what ammunition you used and what the barrel length was?
Also, your advice about try before you buy is always a good idea.
