Here she is!!
I am loving it so far, not too big and decently light. As you can see I have already replaced the larger S&W labeled Pachmeyer Compac grips with some smaller non S&W labeled ones with Pac medallions on each side. The grips with the medallions are less sticky for grabbing on clothes, and are noticeably smaller all the way around.
The XS night sight is great, as is the the Cylinder and Slide "Extreme Duty" rear sight that comes on this revolver. It shoots nice and accurately with a smooth DA trigger pull, and I find the SA trigger pull to be really light, but it does the job if you are on target. I am debating bobbing the hammer, as this will mainly be a defensive gun.
The gun must not have been used much as it is in awesome shape, and has no wear or blemish on the finish in any way other than a normal turn line on the cylinder. It locks up very tight, and has zero end shake of any kind. I think I did ok, I grabbed it used for $650, and I see them go for $800 and up NIB.
I immediately bought a demooner tool and 20 more moon clips to go with the ones S&W supplied. I will buy another 50 or so from Ranch Products as soon as $ allows, as well as a nice leather holster. I am looking at Lobo Gunleather, and would appreciate any other suggestions for IWB\OWB holster from those in the know!
Thanks in advance!
