I'd agree. The pull weight is nice on my 640 Pro, but what impresses me is how smooth the trigger pull is. I don't care for light trigger pulls on a self-defense gun. There is just too much going on in a self-defense shooting, so the last thing I want to worry about is a hair trigger. I want a trigger pull that is gonna be smooth and consistent.
Combine that with an excellent set of sights (what I think has been the traditional weakness on a snubby), and heavy frame so it can actually digest .357mag rounds or make the good old .38spcl FBI load feel almost like a non +P load, and I think that Smith has come up with the perfect civilian self-defense handgun. Well, at least it's perfect for this civilian. And if the probation department I work for ever lets us probation officers carry on duty, it's gonna be my duty gun as well.
