That's cool, and I totally get it. Besides, it is one fine little pistol.Thanks for the reply, Bob T. For whatever reason, my wife prefers revolvers over semi-automatic hand guns. At 5' 2" she's a short woman and also happens to have small hands - which I why I asked about the grip of the S&W. She's handled the Glocks I own and is astoundingly quick (her reaction time/reflexes border on frightening...) with their slides, triggers, and magazine loading. None of that changes the fact that she likes the look and feel of "wheel guns." She accomapanied me recently when I went to drop off one of the aforementioned Glocks to be refinished at a local FFL and had a chance to handle several guns - everthing from Kimber .45s to Colt 1911s to six-shot Glocks to Browning to S&Ws - hell, even a couple of rifles. Of the inventory available, she kept returning to the Smith & Wesson revolvers, stating that they fit her hand the most comfortably, she liked the size of them, and could see herself carrying one concealed. Since I like my marriage (almost 21 years now), I don't argue. She's in the process of obtaining her FOID and will begin training so as to obtain a CCW soon.
I don't know if you reload ammo, or know someone who does, but you can make some very soft shooting, accurate rounds for the .38 special. Great for practice.
