Hello. I posted this question last week but never got an answer. Looking for a 38 (revolver?) hat doesn't have too much kick back but still does the job of protecting me if needed. I am a beginner and my hands are not that strong so prefer a revolver, but I heard that the bigger the gun the less kick back there is. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Jill, it is all in the loading of specific ammunition. All stainless steel for weight for less recoil (https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/55267/taurus+856+stainless+steel+6+round+38+spc+w%2ffixed+sights%2f2%22+barrel%2fstainless) Standard 38 Special and not +P rated ammunition will be fine. I would go with a light weight bullet that is fast and produces low recoil like : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/411555911/hornady+90300le+critical+defense+lite+38spl+90gr+ftx+25ct   -------------  Buds has it for Qualified Professional Only but you can find it here for us regular folk  :  https://ammoseek.com/ammo/38-special?ikw=ftx&schnozz=0vrnlzb

Yes the heavier the gun the less recoil it will have I would recommend a 357 revolver shooting 38 special rounds like this Taurus https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/31302/taurus+66b4+m66+7rd+357+mag+4%22 and  the federal low recoil hydra shoks https://www.federalpremium.com/handgun/premium-personal-defense/personal-defense-hydra-shok-low-recoil/11-PD38HS3+H.html
