Got it!
Four days later and it's mine.
$975 (with a box of cartridges), but then I have spent some coin at my LGS over the years.
Fit and finish seem very good, I'm liking the wood grips...I have big paws and this feels comfortable.
The stainless finish is more dull or matted than I had expected, as compared to my 617 and 629.
But I'm warming up to it.
Weight and balance is very nice, love the bead front sight.
Have not shot it yet, I'm still cleaning and enjoying the acquisition.
Next there will be the search for a new holster.
Thank you, all you enablers here at SW forum.
