Analysis

This .357 Magnum revolver offers a solid blend of performance and practicality for shooters seeking a reliable sidearm. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges thanks to a well-aligned barrel and sight system. The ergonomics are thoughtfully designed, with a grip that accommodates a variety of hand sizes, promoting comfort during extended use. Reliability is a key asset, as it functions smoothly under diverse conditions with minimal malfunctions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to prevent wear on internal components. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some owners. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 4-5 pounds in single action, though it feels heavier in double action. Felt recoil is noticeable, particularly with full-power loads, which may affect newer shooters or those sensitive to kick, necessitating proper technique for control.

One hell of a gun
By bob on 12 May 2018
A well made hand gun with a little weight to it. Workman ship great, no flaws. I put this gun to the head of the class with Ruger. bob.
