I used to hate snub nose .38's.
I understood the utility and convenience of j frames so I got a S&W Model 640 with the boot grips. I hated it. I really could not hit the broadside of a barn with it. And recoil was unpleasant too. Practiced with it a lot but could not see any significant improvements. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Fast forward about 1 1/2 years later I decided to rent a j frame for the heck of it. I don't know what happened since then but I shot it a lot better than before and I actually had a good time shooting it. So I purchased a new S&W Model 60 with combat grips (which helps) and with each range session I'm getting better and better. It really is turning out to be one of my favorite handguns. I'll be shooting magnum loads out of it soon. Yeah, I wish I kept that 640 but thats water under the bridge.
Anyone else do an about face on a particular handgun?
