It is very small. The fella with us, a friend and co-worker of my son’s, couldn’t shoot it. His finger was too big for the trigger.

I found out the hard way about wearing a cap. Brass lodged between my head and ear piece on my glasses....and it was HOT.That was something I hadn’t thought about until that happened.

Thanks for all the advice. I’ll be better prepared the next time.

Good fit to the hand is important for a handgun. It should fit comfortably in your hand and the first joint of your index finger should be able to rest comfortably on the trigger with the stock centered in the web between thumb and index finger. My wife couldn't do that with my N frame S&W 629 revolver. It kept nicking skin off the joint at the base of her thumb. A L frame S&W revolver is a perfect fit for her hand. I ran into the opposite problem with the J frame S&W 640. My hand is slightly too large, so the skin between the first and second joints of my index finger gets pinched when I pull the trigger.

I rented a wide variety of pistols and revolvers before I committed to make a purchase. In the S&W revolver line, I can comfortably shoot L frame, N frame and X frame revolvers with one hand without much problem. The J frame is a finger pincher for me.
