I wish anyone that buys one, happiness with it. I could likely buy a good condition original for less $, with better bluing/grips, and NO lock. Forgive me for speed reading, or not reading every post, but I saw no mention of what is mims, or not. The grips did not wow me. + I don't need another 357 That I'm only gonna shoot 38's thru. Good luck if you get one.
