Over 75-80 percent everything is normal. This was only five guns YMMV.

C****** A**** revolvers IMHO function every bit as well as the Smiths which I prefer.

With the exception of a Stainless Steel .327 Patriot which had the fit and finish if a Smith (and a matching price tag) they did not have the fit and finish of a steel frsm S&W. (I prefer the steel frames.)

I think CAs occupy an important place in the market. For the difference in cost at a LGS, compared to a comperable Smith a newcomer or someone on a limited budget can obtain a decent CA and 10 to 15 boxes of ammo to help them become proficient in its use.
