She liked the feel of a Model 60 which is I believe 24 oz so much heavier then a 15 oz Airweight and the kick seems less but not the 35 oz of the 686 .. which she says feels barrel end heavy ..

Her problem is Carpel Tunnel so she has weak wrist and it is very difficult to hold anything heavy one handed .. and has trouble even two handed according to the balance of what she is holding ..

She's a pretty good shot (Farm Girl) but just can't shoot very many with out inducing wrist pain ..
