Hi there! I am about to take possession of my recently purchased S&W Model 60 with a 3" barrel. My problem is that I shot a Model 60 with a 2 1/8" barrel last Saturday and I did not like it AT ALL. It was just too much recoil for me (yes, I AM a big wimp) even shooting .38 special. I was in love with a Model 19 with a 4" barrel (best gun ever) if this gives some measure of where I'm coming from with this. So, is the 3" going to make a pretty significant difference over the 2 1/8"? I think it's 2 oz heavier as well.
I'm wondering whether to continue purchasing the 60 with the 3" barrel (it's still new in box and in possession of my dealer), or ask for the money to be put toward another gun. Also, would this make me a bad customer?
Any advice is much appreciated
