Default New From San Antonio

Best Regards to everyone!!

I am new to the forum and just purchased my 1st S&W j frame today a 638-3. Needed a good pocket revolver and been looking at S&W Luger and Taurus. Paid a little more for the 638 but no other revolver in this class is as well made as a Smith. The thing I liked the most about the 638-3 (yes it has a lock) is the SA/DA and it's light weight. I have smaller hands and the gun just feels right points well. I have read a lot about recoil but I carry a 10mm Glock G20sf and G29sf. I am anxious to experience the recoil on this weapon and feel that with practice I will become proficient in its use.i have lasers on all my handguns and just purchased a CT-105 so I am confident that will help me with accuracy.

Have a few questions regarding the best SD ammunition for this weapon and will be loading my own in the future but will hold off until I get some range time.

I have added this forum to my list of must looks on a regular basis. Looking forward to a long relationship on this site.
