I used to have a girlfriend that said patience is a virtue but it never was one of mine. Guess she was right. Didn't take long in visiting model 63 threads, videos etc before I ordered one. It came in yesterday. Fit and finish on the gun was nothing short of excellent. It just feels great in the hand and the sights are amazing. Trigger was a little stiff in DA but a few minutes on the bench (and a 13# rebound spring) had it down to a smooth 11lb,5oz. The factory stocks were comfortable but I through these smooth rosewood boot grips on for now as they seem more hand filling (and somewhat handsome.)
p.s. Got to say that this could be the perfect teaching revolver for youngsters and women.
