I don't know if I understand your question. I carry a S&W 60 3" .357 at times, a S&W 329PD at times, and a 4-5/8" barreled super blackhawk at times. Neither of the S&Ws are fun to shoot. The little Ruger is peppy but mostly manageable ... I carry it when I intend to shoot, I carry the others when I hope not to shoot but don't want to be without a gun.

T_O_M,,,, Ok, not really a "Question", but more of an Observation if you will, as I said I liked that little .357 Ruger that -[mainer]- had posted about, but after my study on that possibility, it was clear that the S&W 329PD was the better choice, ie... 6-Rounds of .44Mag, physically about the same size, same Bbl length, and somewhat less weight to carry, again, just an actual comparison to what your pack-in,,,,, ie... the least amount of weight, with the best terminal performance....
