If I didn't already have one I'd have grabbed one in an instant. It was my carry gun for years, with 38 Special 158g +Ps. They were tolerable to shoot a few at a time, but I mostly shot lower power cowboy loads at the range - the steel gun made those tolerable for hundreds of rounds. It's amazing what you can do with one of these short barrels if you practice enough.

My grips were Crimson Trace LG-305s. They are almost as comfortable to shoot as my non-laser preference, Pachmayr Compacs, but of course have the laser.

In spite of the laser, I paint the front sight of most of my guns with bright red/orange nail polish over a white base. Stainless steel rear sights get a coat of matte black model paint, typically applied as a single drop on the end of a toothpick and then spread around the visible surfaces. Easy and cheap to do, and makes things MUCH easer to see with my ageing eyes.
