I bought one to teach grandson about guns & shooting after talking to a few owners with the guns, one guy said he was up to close to two thousand rounds in his 4.5" LR only gun. None reported any problems, two said they had them for boat gun and snakes. If lost over side of boat no big deal.

Haven't shot it yet, but have cleaned and oiled it. Seems pretty smooth, but not sure I like paint on my guns instead of blueing or anodizing.

At the age of 18 when I joined the US Military I swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, that oath did not end with my retirement.
