I have had mine for over a year now and I am well pleased with it. I bought it solely for use with a conversion cylinder and it has been perfect for that function. Mine has as smooth and slick an action as you could want in a single action revolver and it's a natural for point shooting and close up social work. A true big bore snubbie. Better get one while you can...

This is my 2nd review it has been over a year and this is simply my favorite gun. The more i got used to it the more accurate it became. even at distances normally engaged by pistols with longer barrels. This has become my favorite and most reliable carry gun. My advice is to go ahead and get a off gun reloading press such as the one Black Dawg sells or make one. much easier to use than the old brass rammer and hammer technique. As a previous reviewer mentioned i have rarely ever seen a gun come out of the box with such a fine action as this one. For any fan of the \"avenging angels\"" this is really a must have!"

Great snubby revolver. Inspected and found the following: * Fit and finish very good. * Trigger pull out of box was 1.75 lbs. * Barrel to cylinder bore alignment was correct. * Barrel assy. to frame cylinder arbor fit was correct. * Had to fit bolt to cylinder stop slots. (normal on Pietta). * All internal parts were clean with no flashing etc. Can get by without polishing action parts. * Cyl. to barrel gap with cyl. fully retracted was 0.006\". Overall I am very pleased with product. Plan on shooting it as well as display in my man cave."

This is a surprisingly great shooting pistol. I got it mainly for the looks and had always admired \"avenging angel\"" type pistols but this one performs excellently at the range. It's not my choice for long range shooting but for normal distances it's quite accurate."

Just got mine today waited months for this to come back into stock. Get it fast they do not stay in stock long. I love mine it is a nice looking and feels great in the hand can not wait to shoot. I will be adding a conversion cylinder should be fun.
