Spent some real "quality time" with it at the range today and just couldn't find any flaw with it at all !!

was using Federal 158g .357 JSP ammo as that's all that was available when I purchased.

with the open Buckhorn & Gold Dot sights, after 1 tap to the rear sight to correct it shooting to the right, at 25 yds it consistently put 3 rds into 1 ragged hole at dead bullseye using only a sandbag rest.
50 yards was 1 click up the rear ladder, and it was bullseying almost every round, occasionally w/2 holes touching in groups of 3.
that's as far as I went as I haven't put a tang-sight on it yet.
absolutely fantastic accuracy for handgun ammo !!!

it functioned smoothly and flawlessly throughout and I couldn't be happier with it.

worth every penny!
