I just bought the back up recently, I was amazed at the accuracy and the recoil was not bad at all. I plan to get the 3.5 barrels soon in .410 I also bought the belt holster as well and it is nice to. I now switch off and carry this as my primary at times plus you can slip it in your jacket or pants and have some nice power with you always.I would recommend this gun or any of the bond arms guns to anyone. Thinking of getting one for the wife as well not sure yet what caliber for her but she likes mine just a little to much in .45 but the 9mm I think would be great or .38 no matter you can not go wrong!
