Went to the range today with Jack, and for the first time shot 100 rounds with the Airweight. Tough on the hands and not all that easy to shoot. For relief, I shot a clip's worth with Jack's Glock (Jack is a policeman), and it was like riding a Cadillac on the Florida Turnpike as compared to a pick-up truck over a dirt road. But that's what you get with a small, lightweight revolver. Its really not suppose to be fun. It isn't. All of this is, obviously, is very serious business.
