My son gifted me with one last night :-)
I do not presume to tell you what to do, but it would be a nice gesture to send GW 43 a copy of Rescuing Sprite about now.dontcha think? :-)

I have the S&W Scandium in the exact same model but weighs 7 ounces less and costs $600 more. So light weight it's a blessing to carry but even the regular .38 Special makes it a hand smacker.
I think you'll be all right with yours at 18 ounces and regular .38 Special ammo but you need to practice so you're ready for the recoil. It will be a great gun to carry provided you get a concealed carry purse of some kind, and there all kinds now a days if you use the Google, and of course your carry permit. Nice present from your son!
Looks like a copy of the Ruger LCR - but cheaper.
