Recently traded a Charter arms Bulldog 44 SP for a S&W 15 4" , the bulldog was like new 3" early model and the S&W 15 was a police trade in with target hammer and trigger and a lot of holster ware but mechanically like new. While I am a fan of big and slow I shoot the S&W better, the 44 hurt my hands to shoot, though it shot to point of aim. Now at nearly 70 years old I am better off with a gun that I shoot well, even if it is not 40+ caliber. Over the years have owned and shot a lot of magnum handguns but now with arthritic hands the non magnum guns are the best for me.
For me the 38 sp in a K frame gun just works. This may not be the best for some one else but it works for me. My other handgun of choice is a 1911 in 45 acp, it also does not hurt my hands to shoot.
By the way the light weight 38 sp j frames don't work either, have owned several.
