I love this revolver. Didn't buy it here, but its the only other place I've seen it for this price. Accuracy is amazing at greater distances than you would imagine with a 2.5 barrel. Recoil is negligible. Range ammo 38 no recoil at all. When you drop your carry 357 in you feel some kick in your palm but very little muzzle rise allowing you to get back on target immediately. Kinda new to guns. My husband thought I was crazy but hes impressed with it as well. I happen to prefer revolvers and this one was my first. Already purchased a second S&W revolver. You cannot go wrong with this gun, and its easily concealed with the proper equipment.
I bought this from a local dealer, paid 100 bucks more than whats it lists here, and it looked used with carbon deposits on it but it is a very well made gun-Should have got the gun here but they were out of stock at the time. Great gun, short barrel, adj sights, carry it in the console of my car. I only wish I could have bought it here and saved money.
