The 642/442 is a 14.4 ounce alloy frame revolver.
A Charter .40 pitbull is 20 ounces, the frame is steel while the grip and trigger guard are alloy.
A M640 is 22 ounces all steel.

The recoil of my .44 Bulldog and .45 Pitbull never bothered me. The recoil of my M640 does not bother me. I shoot target wadcutters in my 442. It does not have the mass to absorb as much recoil as the heavier revolvers. Physics.
