A very nice revolver indeed! It looks just like my Model 60, except that yours has a hammer spur. But a Model 60 as your first revolver? Or your first S&W revolver? I have been shooting revolvers for quite a while and for many years I hated the J Frames until very recently when I decided to give them another chance and learn how to properly shoot them. They can be quite a challenge and you'll need to practice a lot and stick with it. But they are great little revolvers and if you go about it the right way you'll enjoy it. And there's no need to feel undergunned when you can hit what you're shooting at.
