(3 out of 5) Had to go back..
by Nathan from Lehighton, PA on November 9, 2017

Rough start.. right from the get go the cylinder stop didn't work. You could turn the cylinder either to the right or the left. Sent it back, factory paid shipping both ways a plus Got it back.. works as it should now. Only other downside was had I waited I could have bought this at almost a hundred dollars less which was hard to believe. It's no S&W but it doesn't cost as much either. QC should step up the inspections. They do fix them but how do they get out the door in the first place.
