Before my Wife got herself a Rossi .357, she was very close to opening the checkbook for a S&W 4" Model 627 Pro. She said it's grip felt the most natural, kept her grip up high, and pointed the best (over the 686 & Model 27), and that it's DA pull was buttery smooth & light. I agreed with her assessment, and was duly impressed enough to consider buying one for myself. 8 rounds in reserve didn't hurt either, but the price-tag was what put her off in the end. Still, she's really happy with her Rossi though.
