Revolver recos

[markyorme]

I'm trying to find a revolver that gives a bit of feedback without the harshness of a .38. Honestly, it seems like they're almost all sold out in stores now.

You might want to check out older .32 H&R revolvers if you can find one used. They have a little pop without hurting your hand. I have seen them selling fast lately, so you need to be patient

Depending on ones capabilities and purpose I've found that all steel revolvers have less recoil BUT that is if I've put on some proper stocks that fit my hands and absorb recoil so that I can obtain the feedback that I'm looking for.

Below is an example of a 642UC wearing Recoil Rider stocks, testing a five shot group of FTX 110gr factory loads at 15yds from a rest. This was so I could grab some numbers off my Chronograph and send the information to my FFL that prefers to carry a snub.

Since then I've switched to a set of Hogue Bantam stocks that fully enclose the metal backstrap on the 642UC, I've also installed these on an airweight 638 and have fired over 200 rounds through that revolver so I can get used to that particular trigger; no pain after shooting that many rounds and these stocks absorb recoil very well.

My favorite load development/testing revolver is my 3" Ruger SP-101 (All steel .38special Only), as it absorbs recoil very well.

Of course wearing the proper holster/belt combination if you're going to carry for self protection is important when wearing not just an all steel firearm but a lighter one as well.

Try a steel .357, shoot .38s through it, it is way more comfortable and controllable overall.
