I have had mine for a number of years and I agree with the others, that is the last revolver I would ever have to give up. I have had no issues other than the silly attempt by S&W calling the front sight a "night sight" Mine got red fluorescent paint a couple of days after I brought it home. Mine was new and it came with an extra set of Hogue rubber grips which are easier to use than the small wood Altamont grips so many here love. My work as a RSO allows me to engage with a customer who comes in and challenges me to shoot with him indoors at 75' offhand. Even at my 73 years I can stay right with him by keeping the vast majority of rounds into a sheet of 9x12 paper. Next week we move to 150' which I know this gun is fully capable of doing.
