They do require practice, but its mainly a function of the short sight radius. The trigger pull can be a bit heavy on some of them, but they always loosen up with use and dry fire -- and if the trigger pull is still a burden, they can be safely lightened and smoothed with no loss of functionality if done correctly.v-rog wrote:Between the recoil and the heavy trigger-pull, the airweights are a challenge to shoot. Hopefully your able to put a couple-hundred rounds through it while you have it. Best of luck.
IMHO a j-frame is *never* the wrong answer. And for a self-defense standpoint, good quality .38 spl ammunition in a j-frame revolver in the hands of a reasonably competent user is not under-gunned.
