I had the Taurus 650. It had a spurless hammer, and was all steel -- hence .38 recoil was relatively mild. I forget what I paid for it, but I also did not get much for it when I sold it. I only put about 50 rounds through it, but it performed just fine.

I occasionally pocket carry an SP101 with a spurless hammer. It is also all stainless steel, and has very manageable recoil with short barrel medium .357 magnum factory loads. Pocket carrying this is not so much the weight as the bulge -- I need deeper pocketed pants or shorts. I routinely carry one or two of these pistols these days, but prefer combinations of belly band, shoulder holster, and/or ankle holster.
