I have a 5 inch, they made 250 of each of the 3 inch and 5 inch. They are well made and look like the old one's. If you put them side by side you will cry in a way about them. The top of the new one don't have the craftmanship of the old. The checkering doesn't look as good. The new ones are a nice gun to collect, but I wouldn't pay that for a shooter. I would buy stainless for that.
