Never met a J frame I couldn't shoot well even with hotter loads never met a small auto that I can shoot well with the exception of the Walter PPK but I guess it doesn't count as a small auto anymore .The small auto pistol has been around for years but now the gun companies have the technology to go to a 9mm round the only problem is shooting that slim light easy to conceal but hard to control small auto .Take the place of the small revolver lol no get traded in on a small revolver very likely .
