I have had for some years, and several friends here too, the Cabela's version of that in their 'Millenium' revolver. We tend to shoot cast bullet loads, and somewhat reduced, but the durn things have held up well and are doing duty, so I say go for it. Ours shoot fair close to the sights and mine has been stripped of the matte finish (came off easy enough), degreased and and some cold blue cream rubbed in and it kinda looks like an old. well worn orig. on the cheap. As my friend Jon said, these are a gun you can carry and not have to worry about how much damage may happen iffn it gets under a horse.
