I always carried Semi Autos. My EDC was a Zev Z43 Gunfighter. My ex had gotten a 642 Airlite. In the beginning it was a little tough to get used to. She got a oversized grip and it made a world of difference. To many that complain about shooting it get a new grip. It makes all the difference in the world. Me personally I shoot better with guns that Challenge me so about a month ago I got a 340 PD I love shooting it. So far I have over 300 rounds of .38 Special and about 75 rounds of .357. I love to shoot it and feel no pain or discomfort shooting it. It has become my EDC because it is so light and comfortable I sometimes forget I have it. To each their own but I can go to the range tomorrow and put 150 rounds through it and be very accurate and enjoy it.
