Hey guys,
I recently discovered the S&W Mountain Lite scandium 7-shot revolver which weighs 18.? oz, and am comparing it to J-frame size revolvers. I really like its low weight but it physically is a big gun (L-frame). Hard to conceal.
I don't know its exact weight and have found slightly various references (18.3 to 18.7oz).
The Model 60 .357 steel, 3 in barrel weighs 23.4 oz and has 5 shots.
J-frame 340 scandium .357 come in at 17.? oz, but have pretty short barrels. The .357 mag was designed for 4 in barrels so I think that a short barrel significantly reduces performance.
Does S&W make a J-frame 5 shot .357, 3 inch or 4 inch barrel in scandium? I couldn't find such a creature on S&W's web page, but I could not find the Mountain Lite either.
