Thread drift doesn't bother me. The guy was running away after the first shot, and you can't legally shoot someone who has disengaged. I'm only 76, and my brother 79, so we haven't reached the age where we are recoil sensitive yet.

My Dad was killed in a robbery of his store when he was 86, on a day when he wasn't carrying his guns. He wasn't recoil sensitive either.

Re the conversion, it takes less than two minutes to swap out the cylinder and yoke to my other, stock titanium cylinder and stainless yoke when I want to shoot .38 Special, so no big deal there.
