I bought the stainless version back in the '80's. A big mitt on me so that longer Government grip fits better. At 22 ounces loaded it is about 2x heavier than my J-frame .38 +P 337PD, but the Colt has a thinner profile. A great piece that is pretty scarce.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
