[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 3648473, member: 55109"] From the time I exited the Army ('72) to 1999, I owned - and sometimes carried - a 3" Charter Arms Bulldog, in .38 caliber. Loaded it with 5 rounds of 158-grain semi-jacketed hollow-point +p ammo. It was accurate, and it concealed well enough in a leather hip holster. For nearly 3 decades I was happy with that arrangement, and I kept the Bulldog in excellent condition. In 2000, I gave the revolver to my daughter when she went to college. When striker-fired semi-auto pistols came on the market, I gave in to the temptation. By 2006 I had settled on the 9mm Springfield Arms XD (for all the usual reasons - weight, concealability, capacity, etc). Now, with my arthritis showing up, recoil is a serious factor in my decision to stay with a semi-auto, but I guess I do still have a soft spot for revolvers (old habits die hard?). [/QUOTE]
