New and Old
In the video I do a short 5 minute comparison of my newer EDC or everyday carry with and older version.
I had taken the older EDC and reworked the trigger with an Apex Trigger (bringing the trigger pull down from around 15 lbs. to about 8), added a new Crimson Trace Laser Grip and filled it withlow recoil ammunition.
Currently she is using Hornady Lite .38 special as her hands from 35+ years of hairdressing need the lower recoil. But I just ordered the neARX penetrator ammunitionin.38 and .38+P to try out with her. This ammo is less recoil with reported greater velocity in a lighter bullet... time will tell which she settles on.
I will also be trying out the ARX .357 for my newer carry piece... and will update you after the holidays... too much to do in this season.
Anyway for newer shooters,Ilike to suggest the revlovers as they are far more reliable (less possible malfunctions), more accurate (fixed barrel, not sliding or lifting like a pistol) and far easier to work with. But they still need getting used to just like anything else and the more comfortable and simple under stress the better.
