Airweight J-frame? Grips matter... a lot. Stock grips suck, IMHO. If the cylinder latch is splitting your thumb knuckle open, they can be rounded off like so (top is modded, bottom is the stock latch):
As far as buying guns right now: Its not a good time to be buying guns or ammo, in almost any caliber. If its a real need, I would stick with common calibers, and not go for something like 6.5 Grendel. Current availability might be better with 6.5G, but long term, the mainstream calibers will be more available, sooner, and cheaper eventually. Same applies to support gear ( spare parts, mags, etc)
SHTF battlefield pickup 9mm and 5.56mm will be a thing... 6.5G, not so much.
