A Python/Trooper/.357 with a 6" bbl has enough "heft" to keep the recoil reasonable. Try it, you'll like it! I don't own a Python, but some of it's earlier kin have found their way to live at my house. There are 5 .357s in the picture below ranging from a 2 1/2" to 6" barrel lengths.

Only 5 357's..geez I have that many 5 screw pre and post war pre mdl 27's.

U forgot to mention the pre war New Service framed Shooting Master in 357....
