I took my lovely wife of 41 years to the range to teach her how to shoot a revolver. Took the 357 NMBH and the LCR 38. I loaded up some standard pressure wadcutters and some 158 grn RNFPs and some 200 grn RNs. She did not take to the LCR. Recoil was not the problem, but the DAO. Smooth as the trigger is, she needs to build up hand strength to make the squeeze. She loved the NMBH, of which I am very happy since I love the SAs above all. But the gun is heavy and after 150 rounds or so, she was feeling fatigued.
I am wondering, therefore, if there is such a thing as an SA dedicated to 38 Special and lighter in weight than the .357s. I know there are 32 SAs, but if I get her a revolver, I want to avoid getting a different caliber. I reload for 38 and .357 and am really not interested in adding a new caliber if I can avoid it.
