DF - I haven't shot the smaller FA grip, the only FA I've fired was Ringman's .454. It was a bit peppy. Overall, I liked it, but he had 2 studs added for attaching a sling to the sides of the gun that scuffed my hand under recoil in a fairly disconcerting way. With those gone I think I could have liked it considerably.

The 97 in .357 with 180's at full power is a whole different animal than the larger 83 in .454...
It's even fun to shoot; not so much the .454, IME.
