I owned one, in the 2.5" version. Carried it for several years. It seemed to suffer pretty sticky extraction which I disliked. Then it locked up on me when I was in a pretty bad spot after firing two rounds. A couple of the unfired rounds had jumped crimp. I tested several factory loads after this and most measured increased o.a.l. after firing a few rounds. I kind of lost confidence in it and it went down the road. A buddy still owns the 4" version and really likes it and has had no issues.
