I bought a Kahr CT-380. Loved to carry it IWB or OWB. It was hard to "rack" a round into the chamber and it was in the manual that you have to run 200 rounds through it before it would reliably empty a clip. After 200 rounds it still had the occasional jam and I was told the clip may have been bumped and now mis-aligned. I picked up a .44 ruger Blackhawk 3 screw revolver (1960) in new condition and feel in love with revolvers. Bought a 1982 Smith and Wesson model 64-2 recently and the revolver/semi-auto question has been answered for me.
