Picked one of these up about a week ago:

It weighs 34oz. Balance sits at the front of the trigger guard.
Drops right into my SA leather.
The action functions as a traditional SA. Fake shells weigh about the same as a live .357 round. They fit snugly in .38 shell loops. They are loaded and unloaded in the same manner as many single actions- half cock, lift gate, rotate cylinder.
Trigger breaks on mine around 2.5 lbs. It creeps a bit but is still a fine trigger.
POI is dead on with POA at 10 yards.
Ive tried Avanti Match, Daisy and Crossman BBs. It groups them about the same. Mine groups around 1.5-2" at 10 yards, from a rest.
3-4 shot groupings easily fall within an inch, but flyers are common.
I get about 100-110 shots per 12 gram CO2 cartridge at 55 F.
The finish on it is great for an airgun. The grips are the biggest shortcoming-thin, slick plastic. Its action is smoother than a lower end SA like Heritage. Its no Ruger/Cimaron/Uberti, but far better than I expected.
Its faster and cleaner to reload than wax/primer loads for you quick draw folks.
Its great for teaching young/new shooters.
After around 1000 shots fired, the action seems as tight as the day it came. The grip panel that hides the CO2 has loosened a hair.
