You need to add an all steel, preferably stainless with at least a 3” barrel, better yet 4”.

I agree.

The plastic stuff in .40 has uncomfortable felt recoil for most people. If you don't take a class, learn how to "run the gun," and practice, then it doesn't matter.

I carry a Sig Sauer P229ST (stainless steel slide and frame) in 9mm and one spare mag.

A friend of mine was thinking of buying one of those super lite weight .357’s for his wife.

He shot it one time.

Changed his mind real fast.

He shoots my .41 mag all the time with no problem.

That .357 ate his lunch.
