Thanks and you make some good points... IMHO. Back in the day, before I gave in to the governments ultimate oppression and got my CHL, a .38 pocket carry was my preferred method due to the need for deep concealment. Printing or a lifting shirt is totally unacceptable when carrying under the 12x6 rule. I don't plan to put my PM9 and pocket holster in the safe just yet. Like having two pair of shoes, it is fun to switch up now and again.74novaman wrote:Despite my last post....congrats on the new purchase.
Any excuse to buy a gun is a good excuse.

I think that if you practice with many 38 special loads so you get accustomed to the recoil with the airweight and become proficient with the gun and then also practice with some of the .357 loads that you will carry, then all will be fine.
