Its the only .38 that I've ever shot. It sure makes ankle carry comfortable though, being so light. I don't really "shoot" much with it like I do the Glock or 1911. I've put maybe 50 rounds through it. Not accurate past 15 feet or so, and the +P loads will surely add some kick as well. Its a perfect concealed carry pistol though. It even rides in a pants pocket and doesn't show much profile since it isn't blocky at all.
