The recoil is hard, so accept the reality that taking the weapon out and shooting 200 rounds at the range is not realistic. The weapon is an "oh sheet!" gun, and learning marksmanship, as you would with a duty weapon is not as important as combat techniques and firing the weapon up close and personal.

Here's and excellent sight for these j-frame revolvers:

Took a look a this sight and will review all video's. I appreciate your help. I also use the gold dot 125 grain +P for practice along with 135 and 158 grain 38's. No adverse effects to hands, wrists or fingers as of yet. Pretty good for an old Marine.
