My most un-fun gun to shoot is my S&W SC360 "Scandium" .357Mag. Loaded with five 158gr JHP its 15.5 ounces total. I carry it often as a back up, if I ever need it, it'll hurt the bad guy a lot more than it hurts me.
Chicharrones...
You have inadvertantly helped me resolve a dilemma that has toyed with me for a couple years now.
Should I purchase a NAA Guardian...??
I really like the quality of their mini-revolvers and have assumed their auto would be no different.
But, seeing how yours drove you to aggression, I think I will just cross it off my list of future possibilities. Thank-You...!
To stay on topic, my NAA mini-revolver in .22 mag is quite a little handful. Almost impossible to keep follow-up shots on target without readjusting it. No pain though... aside from the one in my a— trying to hit the target.
I have best results just pointing and shooting the darn thing instead of over-thinking it by trying to aim it with just a front sight.
m2 50 cal.. a pain to take to the range, its a minimum of 3 - 5 heavy trips to the car... 3 for the gun and ammo and at least 2 for some sandbags.
I'm willing to bet that you aren't exactly a pocket carry type of guy.

M53 yugo's answer to mg-42.. Anytime I work it I end up with cuts and scraps on my hands from some of the pressed/stamped metal parts.

My 1st pistol was the 642, it took forever to shoot it well, and my hand always ached after shooting it. 2nd worst was the Seecamp 32acp. Beautiful gun,but it is so small you have to contourt you hand to fire it, and I needed to carry a 1st aid kit to the range due to all the cuts I would get on my finger from the metal trigger guard.S&W 642, hated that little revolver. Trigger pull wouldn't register on my scale until I installed an Apex trigger kit that helped quite a bit but that little gun would slap my hand when I fired it. Yep, my favorite part of owning that gun was selling it.
I do not shoot my 32 S&W Long Regulation Police for this reason. It it so small I can't even get a reasonable grip on the gun and my trigger finger is practically touching my thumb knuckle.Some guns are hard to shoot well, some guns are painful to shoot, but some guns are just plain hard to operate. That’s my case with one of last years purchases that I finally got around to shooting more than just enough to say I have fired it. Before yesterday I had put 1 cylinder through this one of ridiculously light handloads.
I finally got some factory loaded ammo for 32sw (randomly given to me by a coworker even) and I was shooting the old 32 Safety Hammerless in the yard. Popping snap caps is no issue as your not trying to aim, but trying to actually shoot the gun is very hard for me. The gun is so small it’s hard for me to squeeze down on the safety without putting my hand into a very awkward position. Likely because my hands are on the large side.

Way back when bought a AMT Backup .380 (first model). If and when it functioned, just a painful little gun to shoot. Got rid of it in a hurry.
Bond Arms Snakeslayer 45lc/410. The machining and finish are elegant. I love looking at it. Shooting feels like getting your hand twixt hammer and anvil.
