So we just got back from vacation. We had rented a cabin paid $1500. The entire mountain was frozen so we just got a hotel for $500 and got the money for the cabin back. So saving $1000 dollars my old lady said I could have roughly half, give or take, to spend on a new gun.
My choices (purchasing new):
Ruger SP101 357 2.25" With hammer.
S&W Mod 60 357 2.12"
S&W Mod 637 AirWeight 38sp +P 1.87"
So, I'll be rotating whichever one I get into my carry rotation. Im not a weight nut so carrying a 26oz Ruger vs a 15oz S&W is not really a big deal to me. My real question, will the recoil of 357 in the all steel Ruger and S&W be comparable to the recoil of 38sp +P in the Airweight? (i've never had an aluminum or scandium frame) Im not so much concerned with the ballistics, im comfortable with both 38 and 357.
