I too have bought one, had the smitty smoothed it out for me, and boy, is it a shooter. I had one issue, however. The more I shot it, the less the cylinder wanted to rotate, thus raising the amount of force to shoot it double action. Took it apart, and cleaned and lubed the shaft the cylinder rotates on, and it seems fine. I don't think it's a problem with the dirty ammunition I shoot (the bullet grease makes it look like I'm shooting black powder sometimes) since the ammunition doesn't cause the same issue with other revolvers. It is a very nicely balanced piece, I expect to carry it evenings downtown.
