I've been carrying a S&W 649 for a long time now, but lately I've been getting interested in the Taurus small frame revolvers.
I don't know much about them, but I've heard a variety of different reports. Maybe you can help me with some basic info.
I've noticed over the years that the 649 is not a gun you put unlimited rounds through at a range session. I mostly limit it to 50 rounds or so just to keep the muscle memory intact, but I don't do extensive shooting with the gun or it starts tearing me up.
Are the Taurus small frame 2" 5-shot revolvers more "shooter-friendly" than the J-frames? Why or why not? How do the Taurus small frame 2" 5-shot revolvers compare to the S&W J-frames in shooting, accuracy, reliability? I'm particularly interested in hearing shooting comparisons from folks who have shot both and who can compare them in terms of trigger reach, felt recoil, shot-to-shot recovery and so on.
