You've obviously never seen my daughter shoot (and her two-inch snub at that)! The only way you'd be laughing would be if you could laugh at yourself.I have to laugh at some of this "ladies choice" revolvers, particularly the snub nose which you can't hit the side of the barn with if they don't kill your hands in the process trying to fire one.
I never claimed to be an expert in revolvers and if you're daughter is able to hit the target with a snub nose, power to her. She's an exception. My revolver was so painful to fire I couldn't finish the ammo box with it and had to replace the grip to something rubber and larger. I still hate it, just as I resent it when men all jump on the revolver band wagon. Pistols are simply more accurate with less practice and more confortable to shoot. I've handled revolvers and pistols at the range so I know what a revolver feels like compared to pistols. The recoil for pistols is better too. I think if read my post I said if it is really her choice for the revolver, I recommend she fire the model she's considering buying so she doesn't waste her money with a revolver the way I did.

jc2,The bottom line is you should let the her chose for herself and not try to pontificate based on your experience and prejudices.
Hi Mastrogiacomo,Just curious, I changed the grip on mine to a larger Houge rubber grip. The small grip it came with was hard plastic, painful and too small for me to handle well. Did you do anything to your 638 to make it more comfortable to shoot? What was your reason behind your choice?
