Welcome to the Forum.... the Airweight's are great little gun's, I have one in .32 H&R Magnum and like it a lot as it has 6 shots instead of 5.

One of the common debates seen is the question, which is better for a self defense round, the .38 Spl or .32 H&R Magnum? To me that's like asking which is better, Ford or Chevy or Mopar?

With the aluminum alloy frame, it's a good idea to pay attention to the type of ammo that you can and can not run thought it. Using +P or other "high performance/intensity" types of ammo is definitely not a good idea.

And not just due to whether or not the alloy frame is strong enough to handle it, but also because of the amount muzzle rise/flip due to the recoil, which becomes a control issue in placing your shots, in my opinion.

What is it about the gun that you would like to know about anyway?

We can furnish better info, if you can let us know what you're interested in learning about it.
