My only experience with them is a model 85 stainless. Bought it for the wife but it stays in the end table drawer.
I put Crimson trace grips on it and it shoots pretty good for the short barrel. The weight helps with the hotter .38 loads.
All in all, no complaints. I did deburr some sharp edges on it that didn't need to be there.
Not S&W quality but neither is the price.
Since this thread showed up again, I realized I was remiss in my evaluation. I did have a temporary hang up once when shooting it single action. I just shot double action from then on with no troubles. Due to that one time though, I don't consider it a front line SD gun. I have a hard time selling guns, so it sits in a drawer as a back up.
