I have a chance to purchase either a cheap Charter Arms .22lr or .32 H&R revolver as a trainer gun. I basically want something that has low recoil/flash/ and bang to train newbies to shooting. I know the .22lr will do the trick, but I noticed that Charter arms makes a .32 H&R magnum revolver too, and i can get it at the same price as the Pathfinder. I know that .32 ammo is alot more expensive than .22 ammo, but I like the idea that it can serve double duty as a defensive weapon.
My question is, if i load the .32 revolver with .32 S&W long ammo how is the muzzle blast/flash/bang. Is it similar to a .22 or is it alot worse.
