Hi all,

I'm looking to get a .38 Special. Not sure whether to get exposed hammer, shrouded hammer, or DAO. It's mainly going to be a pocket gun. This will be my first revolver (I have a Glock 19) so I don't have any experience with SA or DA.

I like the simplicity of DAO, no hammer, just pull (hard

) and shoot. The ability to shoot SA would be nice but with practice I don't see why I couldn't shoot plenty accurate enough to get the job done.

Any thoughts, recommendations? Also any holster, ammo ideas?
