Score! Model 43! (And a question ...)

I know what you're thinking ...

A model 43? What a lightweight! :D

Man, this thing IS light. Doesn't feel "real" ... but it sure looks real ... real beautiful to me. :) (I'm a sucker for diamond magnas.)

Came with original box, tool set, and warranty card ... but no manual. Can anyone share a photo of what the manual should look like? Was it a Model 43 specific manual or a generic manual? 1966/1967 timeframe.

Thanks.

I believe manual was model specific. Been quite a while since I had a 43.
Oh, and that's a very nice one you have!

Great looking revolver! I think these are under appreciated by collectors. In the box is a great plus for me...congratulations

How light is it? I'm guessing 17-18 ounces?

14.2 ounces unloaded. It practically floats! :D

How does she shoot? My LGS just got one in, selling for $675. I am in the need for a 22 SW revolver, been on the hunt for a nice K22 but tempted at this 43. They are very cool and as you mentioned so light. A range report would be great if you have the time. Nice looking gun, congrats!!!
