The only thing I don't like about revolvers is the grip required to shot properly. I started out with 1911, and then moved to the glock style. Never really felt comfortable with revolvers.

Can you elaborate on the difference in grip. I currently own a pistol but am looking into getting a .38 special.

There is a difference in grip/hand position that is easier to teach one-on-one than to describe. The following may help some:

The problem is NOT that she doesn't like my .40, it's that she cant "cock" it. LOL. I have a small wife. scrawny even. LOL. she LOVES my gun, and has become enamored with the idea. THAT is why she wants her own.
