As with the rest of my Smiths, it’s an excellent revolver. You will be very happy with your purchase.
Far be it from me to just bash a product for fun but... in this case... I've had the same exact experience with Ruger products, to a "T" so to speak. I'm a Smith & Colt man for revolvers and a CZ/Dan Wesson and Springfield 1911 man, (despite how we feel about Springer with their dumb political move). It's simply not worth it to me to try and save a few bucks to deal with the aforementioned bulls#!t that goes along with Ruger, Rossi, or Taurus ever again. Life is simply too short. YMMV.
