It's the first revolver I've owned, and I'm quite impressed with it. I bought it for my girlfriend to use when we go to the range, as her "trigger discipline" with my 1911 makes me nervous! It's very nicely balanced and easy to handle, and as accurate as all get out. She easily gets all eight rounds "8 Ring or better" at 10 yards, and I'm slightly better. Handles 38spl with very little recoil, and even full power 357 loads are very managable. My friends who shoot revolvers always comment on how smooth the trigger is, both SA and DA.
Yep, it's a little pricey, but it's a quality gun, and you get what you pay for.
It's a GREAT gun, and we both love it.
