If you don't plan at visiting the range on a regular basis, I'd recommend not getting a firearm at all. I owned a snub nosed revolver, it was a Ruger SP101 w/ a 2-1/4" barrell in .357. Even shooting .38 out of it was a miserable experience. I am not recoil sensitive at all, but that gun was no fun to shoot. If you're going to carry concealed, purchase a gun that won't discourage you from wanting to practice.
