If you underestimate the 329, it will make you pay. I know this because as I type there is a 3/8" scar on my trigger finger from where the front end of the 329's trigger guard split my finger open during recoil. Load was a factory 240. I've since shot the 329 a bit with 300gr cast loads at 1000fps and it is a great gun. But it is a specialist's weapon and unless you are willing to invest the time it takes to become proficient you are better off with a the new 4" 45 Colt Redhawk.
