I picked it up Monday but didn't get a chance to go to the range untill today.
The fit and finish are really nice. D/A trigger pull was a little heavy but S/A wasn't to bad. I field stripped it, removed the side plate, cleaned the action, lubed it with Break Free CLP and dry fired it 500 times. Then i cleaned and lubed the action again. That smoothed it up quite a bit.
First up was 100 rounds of .38 spl. 158 gr swc's. Shooting simi rapid fire (1 round per second) at 21 ft, Most shots stayed in the 10 and X rings. All shots were in the black. Next up was 100 rounds of .357 125 gr hp's. The first couple of cylinders full were low but the groups were about the same as the .38's. Once i corrected my sight pattern all groups were the same as the .38's.
All in all it'll make a nice addition to my snubby collection. I think i'll do a little polishing one the action and see if i can find a lighter mainspring.
