Yet S&W has spent considerable resources offering various oxymoronic revolvers over the past decades. I owned a 396 Mountain Lite some years back, and sold it shortly after purchase simply because the recoil was too hot to handle. 19 oz for a .44 Special? Too light in my opinion. I believe the large frame Night Guards were a good middle of the road offering, as is the Governor and Thunder Ranch 325, as the inconsistency of lightweight + large caliber continues to be alluring to some folks.
