IIRC, they were basically just a M28 without adjustable sights, and bull-strong. They had the typical short cylinder of the N-frame .357s and weren't too tolerant of certain cast bullets with long noses, other than that, I don't recall hearing anything bad about them. They were weighty, but strong... You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
