After all these years drooling over them, I finally broke down and bought a new one. Been following along since they came out last year, waiting for the little bumps to get ironed out. Figured it was time to jump. Needless to say, it suddenly really feels like Christmas.

I'm so used to S&W's. Funny to watch the cylinder turn the "wrong" way. smile

The grips feel pretty good. I'll have a better feel for them after I shoot it.

Pretty good. Trigger is a bit heavier than some of my nicer S&W's and of course doesn't stack like a S&W. It is crisp, and certainly not glass rods.

And thanks for reminding me. I'll check the trigger pull on my Wheeler trigger pull gauge tomorrow.

Well done! Nice looking gun. I wish I could do the same over here.

And the Lord said: Go and swarm out until you find his older brother from the 70s, hold in captivity in a jail called gun store or pawn shop.and bring back the lost son of the past to have the family re-united.

Elmer, I would imagine it's probably tough getting them over there, as they are hard to come by here. Imagine you'd probably have to order it through a local shop or distributor at a premium. Sorry.

Good score!

My son bought one early this year, his is a great shooter, the double action is pretty sweet.

I’ve seen them at normal prices at Sportsman’s Warehouse here. They don’t last on the shelf very long.

My LGS gets em.
Last couple were 4".
Let two 6" pass by, they didn't last but a couple days on the shelf.

Dunno how many the shop has ordered for individuals.

Sold for full retail.

Nice score LD I just picked up an Anaconda in 8" a little while back and love it. I like it more and more after every time I shoot it, and I'm sure it will be the same with you.

Mine was just under $1500 ($1489 + minimal shipping). Came up in stock from a small Mom & Pop vendor I've bought other hardware from that doesn't charge sales tax on out of state transactions.
