Mine dates from the early 80s, 6 inch fixed sights. Its not a S+W or Single six, but its more accurate than it has a right to be considering I paid about $69 or $79 brand new. Trigger will build up finger muscles though. Its not reccomended, but on the advice of a "crazy old coot" I clipped a coil off the spring to lighten it back when I was a young pup. Never gave me a problem, but a new one may be tough to find nowdays. Shoot it and enjoy!
