Love mine, and I love the fact that I don't have to worry about it getting beat up as much as if I had a ruger single six.... not that I wouldn't love a single six. My experience, and most people's is that Heritages are a lot of bang for the buck. Mine's even got a very nice trigger.... I wish I had the high viz adjustable sights. The main downside is that it's frame is made of alloy, not steel, but Ruger Mk III's and Buckmarks are made of alloys and plastics too.
