Yes, Airweights may take some getting used to. When I first tried my 638 same result. They can hurt after about 50 rounds. If it is a new gun, try dry firing it a bunch to work in the action, and practice. You will be fine.

+1 I use the Federal in the model 49 in my car.

Thanks for the replies. I was planning for it to be my new carry gun, but I do practice with my carry gun enough that I wanted to make sure it would stand up to regular monthly practice. I usually shoot a box of 50 per month for about 9 months of the year.

How do the lightweight revolvers, like the 438 or 638, stand up to heavy usage for target shooting?

Info received- gun was dated as 8/93. Nice shooter in almost pristine condition. :)

Thanks. I picked up a barely used revolver Model 19-6, 4" barrel, checked wood target grips. I am guessing the gun is from the early 1990's. This is my first S&W and also my first 357/38 cal. Here in Nevada, so long as you are more than 5,000 feet from a dwelling or structure, not in area...

I just picked up my first S&W mod 19-6 serial number BPR-0XXX and was wondering how old she is and what .38 special stock ammo to feed it for target shooting? Thnx

Just picked up my first S&W revolver and figured I would stop by and say hello. Looks like lots of fun stuff here:)
