Ok Guys-
My wife decided to get her concealed carry permit also, and she wants a snubby for ease of carry and for simplicity (pull trigger, repeat as needed) she is a fairly seasoned shooter and has shot many of my handguns including my Vaquero 44 Mag.
She isnt what I would call recoil sensitive.....
I would rather her have a .357 over a .38 special but am concerned about the recoil of a snubby with magnum loads.......
What do you guys recommend ammo wise (with ballistic info) for 38 special rounds as a compromise.....
Or what are your expierences with snub nose .357's I think the 640-1 may be the lightest recoiling of the J frames since it's steel and a little heavier.......I don’t think the SP101 would be suitable for pocket carry (to big)
At the very least I can buy her one and then I have a nice BUG if she doesn’t like it, but I would like your expierences also......I would like to take her to the range to try them first and make a decision on her own but the range here doesn’t have snub nose revolvers to rent, so it's up to research and some gun store searching.
Thanks in Advance.
Josh
