1963 38 special is a really light recoiling round. I had a RIA G.I a few years back, nice little gun to shoot, Proud To Be An American/ Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum. These lighter-weight examples may have what feels like a sharp recoil impulse, but this can be tamed down by building a resistance. Newer versions, on the other hand, will take the longer cartridges if that’s what works better for you as a shooter. I was amazed at the difference I felt. ? that depends on how heavy the gun is... a snubby 38 can certainly have more recoil than a full sized M1911.
