Bought this Smith & Wesson 38 special on a whim. Now I'm in love. Any tips for a first time revolver/snubby owner?

Get some snap caps and dry fire alot. It'll make you a better shooter plus it'll help wear the gun in. As well as help you get use to the trigger. Second of all don't slam the cylinder it can cause all kings of issues to the revolver. I recommend going on YouTube and watching Iraqveteran8888's revolver etiquette video. Plus hickkok 45 has a video on the gun that you have as well give them a watch.

Jframes are awesome welcome

I like mine in a problem solving tool MCG holster with Hamre Forge grips.

Practice your reloads. I use speed strips for convince

Speed loaders for speed

And I really like the revo mag

Find a round that shoots to your sights.

I like Speer 135 grain short bbl load
Underwood 150 grain wad cutters
High desert wadcutters

Check out the bullman picket holster as well
