I do like the CA 3" and my BIL has a CA 4" target model which of course has adjustable sights but still a light gun. I think, going by memoryth CA is 19 to 23 oz. and then you jump to 38 to 45 oz. I was looking for a 30 to 32 once gun, fixed sights, double action much like my Smith 45ACP 1950 model 29 with fixed sights 4" with fixed sights and light weight barrel. That gun is a nice compromise in weight. I may have my weights wrong but you get my meaning.
Funny thing is with my BIL who I've been giving some instruction on shooting and a heavy emphasis on gun safety as he has the 4" CA, which he's shot but has no ammo for, and a 12 gage he bought 5 years ago that he's never fired and has zero ammo for. So lots of basic instruction going on, good review for me as well. But I'm fixing Mark up with ammo for both and was watching him shoot the CA and he's shooting double action only, which he was doing quite well at. So I asked him to try a target single action. He looked at me like "what?". He had never fired his gun in single action mode. He did not even realize you could. Well as I said we are getting down to basics.
He just bought a Ruger 9mm Security 9, so more training for us both.
