I picked it up yesterday...put some old wooden grips on it...Thinking about blackening the Aluminum and having a two tone revolver....
Its listed as 12 oz..but it seems so much lighter than that as compared to my 642 (15oz.)

Pretty sharp looking, I like it. I guess I never thought that through, but with an aluminum (I'm assuming it's an alloy frame?) frame, it can be anodized or other treatments applied couldn't they?
 
Revived!

I'm leaning real hard towards getting one of these, and was thinking about using the same early grips as shown in the OP. :cool:

Are you still liking it?
 
That "semi-shroud", makes no sense to me. The hammer still sticks out to be caught by something...especially inside a pocket (in a pocket holster of course). Furthermore, I see no purpose at all for a spur on a double-action concealed weapon inasmuch as I have never heard a convincing argument for having a spur on a defensive weapon. No convincing arguments...just platitudes like, "for that occasional longer shot...", etc. But, never any logical rationale for such a shot. It seems to me an ideal gun for someone who is not going to make the effort to learn to shoot double-action with a double-action revolver.

You might have to stop an oncoming vehicle.
 
Full shroud like the Smith 649 makes sense to me, but I agree the "semi shroud" seems odd - unless you just happen to like the "aesthetic" :rolleyes:

That might be an argument for a police officer, but despite its name, it is just a name for that model, 99% or more of those guns are gong to be purchased by civilians for defensive concealed carry. Like I stated, there are no convincing arguments for a hammer spur on a double-action civilian defensive handgun.

I like it. If you draw with your thumb on the hammer it can't hang up. There is so little hammer that it probobly won't hang up anyway. I'm sure you will practice and see what works. I love having my back up Snub in my pocket. You can have a gun in your hand at most anytime and know one knows.
