Is the one with an exposed hammer capable of both SA and DA? How's the recoil on the 2.25"? I know the 3" is a better shoot with longer barrel and less recoil. But for carrying, the 2.25" might be easiler to conceal.
I imagine the one without exposed hammer is DA only. Two 2.25" models come with Crimson Trace LaserGrip and ask for $250 more. What's the use of the LaserGrip? Is it worth it?

I plan on putting Crimson Trace on my SP101. Check out this video...
If you go to YouTube, you can see the other chapters.

The 60 is a traditional DA/SA exposed hammer revolver. The 640 and 642 are "Centennial" revolvers in DAO with no exposed hammers. Personally I prefer a 3" M-65. You can find them used and they shoot great.

Safety lock on a revolver
I understand there's no manual safety lock on a revolver, DAO or DA/SA.
How do you carry it safely loaded with ammo? What will happen if you drop the gun on the ground or run around with it loaded or ride in a bumpy car, etc?

All modern revolvers have a hammer block and are totally safe to carry loaded...

Don't let that deter you at all. If you study a little on how revolvers are put together, you'll see the lack of a manual safety is not an issue.
