FWIW

I just finish co-teaching a NRA certified pistol course. A lady, I would guess to be in her mid 50's, (I didn't ask her age as she was over 21) brought one of the Model 60,s .357, 3 inch barrel to the range portion.

Her statement to me was that she could shoot her 4 inch model 19 with factory .357 loads, but with her model 60 she stepped down to .38 special +. because of the recoil.

The range course required all shooter to keep 15 rounds on a 8 inch paper plate/circle at 7 yards. She did it with no problems, and she was shooting mostly DA

She was shooting standard velocity 158 LSWC Factory ammo.
