To me it is all balance...the combination of tapered barrel and round butt just makes it.
Have had them in .41 Magnum (2), .44 Magnum (3) and .45 ACP (4)...have never had the .45 Colt or L-frame .357 Magnum.
Still have one of the 657s and would be one to the last S&Ws to go...but wish I had kept one of the .45 ACP guns as it is probably the best defensive revolver ever made...
