I have a few questions about frame sizes within categories for S&W's.
Are all j-frames' actual frames the same dimensions.......like thickness, height, and length of the actual frame?
As far as lenth of pull to the trigger (not the actual distance the trigger travels, but the length from the back of the handle to the front of the trigger) is this the same accross all J frames? If not, are the grips the only thing that will make this "length" different?
specifically, i'm curious about the model 60 compared to the model 442. How similar are the two revolvers in actual physical size of the frame, cylinders, and "length of pull"? On my 442, i have to adjust my strong hand thumb, so my "trigger finger" won't hit it while pulling the trigger. I place the trigger on the second pad of my index finger. And for that matter, i have to adjust my weak hand hold compared to larger frame revolvers in order to keep my digits out of the way.
With the recent thread on the model 60 pro 3", i am thinking about buying one (probably the regular model 60 though) for a "working/pasture" gun. My ruger gp100, is simply too large and heavy for my liking in this situation. i like the idea of the extra barrel length, SA option, and .357 capabilities of the 60 over my 442. The adjustable sights have me favoring the 60 over an sp101.
Thank you,
c.r.
