I have 2 of these. One for Illinois and one I picked up on a distressed sale in Arizona. The action is so smooth from the factory as this is truly and hand made fitted gun.

The big advantage is the weight as it is scandium rather than steel and it is drilled and tapped. It also includes the tactical rails for scope or red dot. If that appeals to you then buy the trr8 as drilling and tapping and then finding the right screws is tough.

If you need the features ans can afford the the $1100.00 tag then this is the gun you want. Smith has outdid themselves on this gun. It is like the old quality of the 1960's factory hand made revolvers like the 19.
