I had one of the J P Sauer & Sons 357 single action revolvers for several years and shot many thousands of rounds through it. Never had a single problem and the gun was quite accurate. I sold it to help pay for my first model 27 and would still have it today if not for the lack of gun collecting funds back in those days. I especially liked mine because it had a larger grip frame than the Colt and Ruger and was more comfortable for me to shoot. And yes, some of the Sauer guns were sold through Herters before the GCA 68 put them out of the retail mail order gun business.
