I’m liking it so far. I ran some factory .327 Federal loads (85 grain American Eagle) as well as some .32 H&R 100 grain wadcutter handloads powered by a small charge of Red Dot for an estimated velocity of around 700 FPS.
The .32 H&R loads were pleasant cat sneezes while the full magnums were a bit of a handful (though not nearly on the level of a full power .357 mag load). Holy crap are they LOUD though. Even with earmuffs on they were borderline uncomfortable and I could feel the pressure in my face.
One concern I had was that the trigger wasn’t resetting quickly sometimes and was hanging up in the pulled position. That may have something to do with the fact that I didn’t clean it before its maiden range session. I’m going to take the grips off tomorrow and blast it down with break free. Hopefully that solves the problem.
My groups certainly weren’t award winning, but I hadn’t fired a handgun in nearly a decade before today, so I was psyched that I was able to get all rounds on a bad guy sized target out to 20 yards.
