Mary, I'm not a big guy, and started shooting J-frames with the 642.
Recoil wasn't too bad with those rubber boot grips. When I
graduated to a Model 36 with original wood grips, I expected to get
beaten up by recoil. Not SO!! A good grip on the M36 was all it took to
handle the recoil with that steel frame! Don't let a Mod 60 get away due to recoil considerations! I've been looking for one myself, and
a good M60 seems to run in the ball-park of what you found, and
not even with any extras. A grip adapter will make it easier to
shoot, but it's not really necessary.
Whatever you decide, that or a K-frame, pics will be nice. TACC1
