I bought a used one a couple of years ago - 3", unfluted cylinder, Hogue rubber grips, with a lanyard ring (it's screw which holds the monogrips in place). The barrel lug is only about 1/4" shorter than the barrel. It does not have a full length ejector, so you have to pop it with the heel of your hand to break the empties free.
I replaced the rubber grips with a set of Ahrends boot grips before even trying it on the range. Surprisingly, it's not that hard to shoot. The grips fill my hand well, and it doesn't matter than only two fingers fit on it.
I got a good price on it, probably because the previous owner shot it using rubber grips, and wore a raw patch on his hand. It's not everyone's cup of tea. My adult son fired it once, and handed it back to me.
