I was never really into smith and wesson but I have been noticing their revolvers are donwright beautiful! I noticed they have 3 main frame sizes as does taurus. my question is 'the 'J' frame, the smallest one 'model 60' am I correct in thinking that it would be about in between the taurus 'compact' and the 'small' frame size???
 
I went to the gunsafe and pulled out a couple of Taurus small frame revolvers, the 650 and 651, and a S&W J-frame Model 60. The J-frame and the Taurus small frame are essentially identical in size. The Taurus 'compact' frame size is larger than the small or J-frame.

Taurus has come out with an even smaller frame size for their Instant Backup series of revolvers, that are supposed to be smaller than the Taurus small or S&W J-frame size. I have not yet seen an Instant Backup to confirm this, however.
 
J Frame

The tauras will look like the smith because they designed it to but they a different internaly.Tauras got started by LOOKING like a S&W but not near as good a gun!!
