A 4” half-lug 620 (7-shot .357) is my do-all, but for JIC carry, a 3” J-frame with shrouded ejector rod just seems perfect. Shootability is much improved over the snubbies for me at the expense of pocket carry in some pants.
Made a random call to my LGS yesterday and found an M60 Pro that had just arrived. Now it’s mine. Trijicon front sight and a set of laser grips on the way, a very handy addition. Years ago, I made a bad hit on a doe with my ML, then a bad follower. Couldn’t get another one down the barrel in the driving rain, snow, and sleet, so I finished her with a one-handed shot from a snubby with LGs, holding on to a tree with my other to keep from sliding down the hill. Never would’ve made that shot with the fixed sights in the dark.
The 3” Js point very well for me, and loaded weigh about half what the 620 does. Already have holsters for my M63 that fit too.
