My dad got one and he is very happy with it. He has shot it quite alot, recoil is stiff but he got it for it's light weight. He has 657 w/6" barrel, but wanted a lighter carry handgun in 41mag for hunting and as a carry gun for bear problems when fishing, etc.
If or when I can find either one of these guns at a half way decent price, it will be mine! From what I have read and talked to people about, these are the ideal big bore carry pistols. But I also am a 41Magnum lover.
