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.

My wife in her mid 50's shot her 4" K-Frame 38 special the majority of the time. Was her favorite gun. Until I bought a model 60 .357 3". She LOVES the magnums! Brings a grin to her face every time. Her words were something like, "duh, it is a magnum, and if I wanted to shoot a fluffy gun I would shoot a 22. More ammo please." And I feel the same way shooting full house 125gr 1450fps magnums loads out of the little J-Frame. It does sport the 3 finger rubber grips, and used mostly single action, paper target shooting at 10 yards, with some 25 yard days mixed in. Not a self defense weapon, which in her case is a Sig P238.
