as already mentioned... I love mine... I would be happy to buy a 2nd at that price... ( they go for much more than that on Gun Broker when they show up )I shoot a lot of magnum revolvers so YMMV but I don't find it at all unpleasant to shoot with factory self defense loads like Speer Gold Dots or Buffalo Bore standard pressure loads... I'm currently handloading for it using Hornady XTP's & Starline cases...
