I like the snub, in .357. Everything I like about S&W Model 60, including holsters/speedloaders, but easier to control, due to weight. I couldn't shoot it at all well, until serious spring lightening. It's now my favorite DA. Sure, it's only a .38sp +P due to barrel length, but that's not bad, in such a compact. A heavy-built little gun just seems to have a neat role, if you have a role for it.
