Picked this up yesterday and went to the range. It's meant to be a hunting/multipurpose concealment gun. As a 17-oz .357 it's got some pepper. .38+P has some pepper too. Has satisfactory accuracy out to 15 yrds. My accuracy declines after the first 2 shots because it is a handful. It's got a little more pop than my friend's .44-magnum S&W mountain gun shooting hunting loads.

It's pretty manageable for a carry piece. I wouldn't want to shoot it very much personally, but it's not a range gun.

Conceals nice... leaps and bounds easier to conceal than the G-19... just need to get a pocket holster for it. I wanted something that was as easy to conceal as a cell phone. Basically you don't need to dress around this gun.

Fit and finish is ok. It doesn't have quite the smoothness as my SW model 66. The cylinder doesn't spin very well for instance, but I've been told by another owner this is a titanium issue. It works. The trigger is nice.

I like it.
