Decided to checkout a revolver, specifically a .38 special. For those who were as me, the .38 special is I guess about a third again bigger than a nine mm, though the diameter is close to the same. The kick feels about twice as much. It feels like more than a .45. It was all I could do to fire 10 rounds before my wrist hurt too much to continue.

It might be the gun itself, but it seemed nowhere near as accurate. However, I can see why many detectives preferred to hold onto the .38 special. For its size, it delivers quite a wallop.

Regardless, if I go to a revolver, it will not be the .38 special. If you’re a wimp like me, I would suggest you get something with less kick.

Side note. I should have known better. The box of .38 specials much bigger than the 9mm. Now, I bought a box of 50. I have 40 left. I guess I need to find someone who has a .38 special. As I said, lesson learned.
