Other benefits are barrel strength, support, and rigidity. JMHO, full lugs seem easier to aim.A full lug adds a bit of weight to the muzzle helping tame muzzle lift. Possibly a coincidence but all of my favorite magnums are heavy barrel full lug.

It's not just the "weight", ya also gotta consider the "balance".......and the "balance" factor increases with "recoil & lift".The full lug must add a significant amount of weight. I don't know if the steels or different or what other differences there might be but I weighed my 3"686 and my Half lug Ruger Match 10mm champion with 4.2 bbl and the GP was only 2 ozs lighter.
That is true .. and I think there is something to be said for how far out from you the weight is. Had a 6in GP and while it wasn't tremendously heavier the weight was further out front and messed with me some. I suppose a half lug there might make some difference and give you the extra length without putting all the weight way out front?It's not just the "weight", ya also gotta consider the "balance".......and the "balance" factor increases with "recoil & lift".
No they are not!!! Full lugs have nothing to do with sighting. Why a full lug on a 3" mdl 60 or 617?Other benefits are barrel strength, support, and rigidity. JMHO, full lugs seem easier to aim.
I think he meant holding factor as in steadiness maybe.No they are not!!! Full lugs have nothing to do with sighting. Why a full lug on a 3" mdl 60 or 617?
Opinions are like exhaust pipes......We all got one........I think a 4 inch K Frame with a full underlug barrel such as the 16-4 is the most aesthetically pleasing revolver S&W has made
