I still beat on mine like it owes me money. She was a hungry lady over 2018 and factory 38 spcl is not cheap. Because of that, I decided to reload early 2019 and it was a superb decision. I've been shooting 148g wadcutters and 145g lead RN reloads lately. What's crazy is how much more accurate my reloads are vs factory. Honestly, I wasn't really expecting that.

like you said, is one of the best firearms I've ever shot. It fits me like a glove, is a superb size and holding 8 rounds makes it a real winner.
