I got rid of my Airlite that was chambered in .38 Special. Just too brutal. I still have my Airweight that weighs a mere three more ounces, but those three ounces are VITAL. I say this as someone who shoots 180-grain monster-slayers and to-the-firewall 125-grain loads in SP101 snubbies, and finds in exhilarating, not painful.

FWIW, my hands are quite skinny. I could put mega-cushion-y rubber grips on an Airlite J-frame, to mitigate the effect of recoil, but that defeats the purpose of concealability.
