I realized today that my issue was the grip, the standard L and N frame grips are to large for my small hands. I tried one of each with the backstrap exposed, the trigger's were easy.

All I know is that I can't really pull the trigger on an unmodified L frame, whereas I can on an unmodified K and J frame.

The K frame trigger pull is so sweet, whereas the L and N frame are very hard for me to pull. Even J frames are easier tp pull then L frames. Huh? Every sample of each frame type I've tried has confirmed my conclusions. So again, why are K frame triggers so much better than the rest?

I want a 6 inch version.

OK, thanks.

Is that even posible?

I know a three inch K frame would be easier, I just was bring up four inches because at present, S&W doesn't make new K frames with those barrel lengths. Buying used will be probably be necessary.

When I said snubby, I meant only J frames. Sorry for the confusion.

I know the difference between a J frame and a K frame, and, for me, the differences are enough for me consider a K frame, weight and size issues duly considered. I'm also considering a few semi auto's as well, but at heart, I'm a revolver guy.

Sorry about the double post. (sorta)

I've decided that inch .38 special +p is to much for me to handle well enough for me to train enough to get good with it. Plus I wouldn't be getting real 38 ballistics. I could get a 3 inch model 60, but with those dimensions, the advantages of a snubby are kinda lost.

I've decided that a 38 snubby is wrong for me, because the recoil of the .38 special +p is too much out of a 2 inch barrel, plus I wouldn't be getting true defensive .38 ballistics. Also nothing beats that sweet K frame trigger.

I'm wondering, becuase of my height, 5 feet even, would a shoulder holster be more realistic?

I'm really short, so knowing that, what are you're ideas?

Actually the K frame had had a beefier grip then the L frame. Go figure.
