Good point. I carry a S&W 442 actually. It's a handy little pistol, surprisingly easy shooting too. I'll see about renting a .357 while I'm at it.

If you like the 442 you'll love a full size. The extra weight really soaks up the perceived recoil to the point where a standard velocity .38 spl isn't much different than a 22 LR. I'm told .38 spl is a great round to start reloading, if you're so inclined.

I hadn't considered a full size .38, but now you're making me reconsider. I'll keep an eye out during my range session(s).
I have a S&W .357 with the 4” barrel. It’s the K frame from 1974, your basic issue service revolver (I think Customs guys carried them for a while) that is easy to use, easy to clean, packs a punch, and is pretty much retard proof.
My wife actually enjoys shooting it more than anything else we own. You can run .38 SP through it to save money at the range, and I run .357 hollow points with polymer tips in 125 grain from Hornady when I carry or when it’s loaded at home for defense. It’ll get the job done...
(Note: picture is from interwebz, not my actual revolver, I still can’t carry on base...)

I use Critical Defense in my Glock 43 which is what I carry.. I use +P+ in my Glock 17 for the house.
What’s a good bolt action .22lr rifle for a young kid to learn to shoot on? I learned on one (hand fed, no magazine) and it helped instill some good safety practices.

Toying with the idea of another long gun. Looking at Daniel Defense but open to suggestions. Use would be recreational target shooting, possibly hunting.
The options right now are infinite. Really comes down to "what's cool for you". M400 Tread by Sig and Saint by SA are examples of high quality complete modern rifles that can be found at discount from volume sellers. Or roll your own - acquire a lower receiver locally and build the gun that suits you and have everything you need shipped to your house via UPS. In 2021 buying a complete upper is the way to go married to a home built lower. Technique only. YMMV.
