If your looking for a wheel gun, cant beat the good old .357. Again if recoil is an issue, the .357 can shoot .38 specials as well. My wife carries a S&W 340PD loaded with .38 special, and for a snubbie its a great carry gun. In fact, when my atire prevents me from wearing one of my .45s, I put the wheel gun in a pocket holster, and off we go. Word of warning though, the 340 is a very light framed gun, and will leave a mark on the hand when your loads are hot and heavy! I came across the gun in an estate sale, and bought its big brother, the 329pd with it. The 329 is a .44 magnum. I only shot half a box through it before selling it to a Game Warden in Oregon. That thing left a bruise even with good shooting gloves!
