I just picked up my 2.75". FWIW, the gun looks flawless out of the box. Nice SA trigger, smooth on DA too. Will get it on the range today with a "moderate" magnum load.
Looks like 2 shots were done at the factory. SOP on a 5 shot cylinder?
Range report: 240 gr cast and 14.7 gr AA 7, starting load according to the book. The little fellow kicks up pretty good - but not painful to the hand. Would guess the MV is around 1000 fps, enough to move the steel plates with gusto. Don't know if it's worthwhile going heavier, the noise and blast would increase a lot more than the velocity I think.
Next will be some wadcutter loads - 185 gr bullets at around 850 fps. See what groups I can get on paper.
