I think a K frame S&W in .38 Special, never a J frame to start with, never ever an air weight J frame. No one I've ever seen other than dedicated shooters shoot the air weight well, Even in .38 it kicks like a mule. Whatever you get, practice practice practice, learn to make the first shot count, it may be the only shot you get.
