Sir, I feel your pain. I used to have two lovely little K-.357 snubs--a Model 66 and a Model 13--and ended up getting rid of both. They were too little to hunt with, too big and heavy for pocket carry, and worst of all, I couldn't hit well with them. They were absolute bears with full-power ammo. Once I realized that these allegedly small guns were nearly as big as a 1911 (which I could shoot well), their days were numbered.
Now, of course, I wish I had them back ... so that I could sell them again for even more money.
Bottom line: You're not required to like it. If it doesn't suit you, let it go.
Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.
