My own stainless S&W m60 weighed in at 22 ounces and got replaced by a pre-lock 12 ounce loaded little known +P rated Scandium S&W m337PD. That model was only made for two years and two more with the lock. No fun to shoot being that light, but near nothing to carry. I suppose the exposed hammer could snag, but I shoot those better. A possible alternative might be the newer scandium S&W m340PD hammerless or m360PD. They are slightly heavier and 357 Magnum, but guys report that they are too much of a good thing and shoot +P .38 Specials in those anyway.
