Coworker and I were talking revolvers and how some shooters like the feel of a J frame but that the light weight makes them prone to heavy and unpleasant recoil. Have there been heavy barreled guns made for the purpose of mitigating recoil? Target grade guns even perhaps? Yes I realize that it detracts from the main purpose of most J frames as being lightweight defensive guns, but it seems an interesting proposition. As much as I love my heavy barreled K frame, it seems that I would love a similarly built J frame even more since I prefer the J frame grips. Aside from a couple one-off customs, are there any guns fitting the basic description? Small frame (J Smith, PP Colt, Charter, Small frame Taurus) etc but made to be shot a lot, accurately, and with enough weight to mitigate recoil of something like 38spl?
