That’s great to hear! I’m considering it for self-defense. How does it handle rapid shooting?

I’ve only shot it at the range, but it cycles through rounds smoothly! However, it does tend to pull left for me, but it might just be my grip. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar issue! Adjusting my stance helped me regain accuracy. Have you tried different grips?

Recoil is manageable for a .38 Special! It’s not unpleasurable. I think it strikes a great balance between power and comfort. Perfect for range fun without being punishing.

That’s reassuring! I’ve shot a few rounds from stronger calibers, so I appreciate lower recoil. What about accuracy during rapid fire?

I found the accuracy to hold up fairly well even during rapid fire drills! Just keep in mind your grip and stance, and it performs admirably. How often do you plan to shoot it?

Looking to practice at least once a week! I’d like to get as comfortable with it as possible. Any tips for beginners?

I’m also concerned about that. Has anyone had a malfunction during use?

No malfunctions for me! Works as expected for both practice and home defense. I think some complaints could be based on mishandling more than the gun itself.

That sounds plausible. A well-maintained firearm tends to outperform! What do you think makes it a good option?
