It's pretty sweet. *All the clerks at the shop allowed how "as soon
as the rush was over" they wanted one for themselves.
No doubt, it is a fistful, and I'm not thrilled with how my
arthritic middle knuckle engages the back of the trigger guard.
(Like, I'd worry about a bruised knuckle in a fire-fight...)
But it shoots good. *I was cleaning up 7s at 20 yards, and my
daughter was filling a 12" hole at 10, without ever having shot a
wheel gun before.
The slug pattern is a little loose, due to the very light rifling,
but even with #8 shot, the shot pattern at 10 yards is less than a
yard wide.
It even fits my carry pocket. It's only about a half-inch longer
than my Ruger 357mag.
You told me to check back when I got it. *I like it. *(now.. who's
got decent cowboy loads in LC I can trust AND afford?)

Good testing on this great site.

Interesting. They claim the snake is neutralized, but it doesn't
look so to me. I see five grazing hits to the body, two more
centered, no head hits. I don't think those two pinholes in the body
would materially impede the snake's ability to strike.
More likely tick him off...
