This will likely mean adding two or three more handguns.

Mastering a Jframe takes a religious conversion.

A Model 442 or 642 and others in this class are a dream to carry. They can be just plain brutal with +P loads. Bad enough with target loads. Rent or borrow one before you buy. I got thru only one cylnder of a .357 of some model # before drawing blood.

A Model 60, 640, or 649... IMHO are about the perfect balance in weight, pleasure to shoot, and just all around build is perfect. The Airweights to me can be too lightweight to shoot accurately.

What I did in a previous infatuation with snubbies, and have done again recently was to pick up a K frame snub. 90% of my practice rounds are done with a K frame. Just a pleasure to shoot. It allowed me to build my skill comfortably and carried over nicely to the airweights and steel J Frame.

I have owned the 442 and carried it regularly. I carried a 649 and felt it was the best handgun I have ever owned.

My next purchase will likely be a 640 or 649.

Have not yet to have the pleasure to shoot a Model 36, but plan to borrow a co-workers in the coming weeks for a test shoot. Good luck.
