You'll love it. Mine is probably the most accurate handi I own. No recoil, reasonably flat shooting, and has the ability to be loaded mild or wild. It is a hoot to shoot with 4 or 5 gr. of Unique and a 115 gr cast bullet. Not as loud as a good hiccup, and it will mess up a small varmints world. If you reload, you've got the most fun with a handi you can have without it being a 45-70.
