Let me state first off I'm a dyed in the wool S&W fanatic. The only other Rugers I've ever had were a couple Single Six .22.
Through some good fortune I came across this interesting revolver at a very good price. Bought it from the original owner. These have Novak sights, beveled cylinders,rounded and smooth triggers and this one at least has an amazing double action. I just got some compact grips from Altamont that will make it easier to conceal but still absorb the recoil. Fits in 3" L frame holsters perfectly.
I'm not a big fan of the brass front sight and will replace it with Novak's green fiber. They made two versions of this-matte blue and stainless, available from Talo. The blue is allegedly still in production, the stainless was made in a run of 4800 and are no longer. Two were up for auction on GB, one sold for over $1k, my search function failed me to find the other which sold this morning I believe.
Oh well, will be hitting the range this weekend, looking forward to seeing how it runs.
As I got it:
