Okay, I purchased this little devil from Academy along with a pack of 50 hollow points for a grand total (including tax) of $294. This little revolver seems very solid and resembles the S&W version very closely. I got the blue/black finish. With its rubber handle, it fits my hand excellently without any signs of discomfort. The barrel is rifled and the sights are terrific.
I went to BassPro to fire it for the first time, and this little dude is smooth. Recoil is minimal. It is a lot less severe as compared to a .40 S&W Sigma. Every shot was within 3 to 4 inches of the last since I haven't had much time with it. This was done on Remington 38 Special 130 grain cartridges.
This is not a target shooter since I think it is not as precise as a higher priced revolver, which is something I have yet to compare it to. This revolver is best suited for personal safety in the car. I don't recommend it for the home since a shotgun would be far more superior in such a scenario.
Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, it gets a 7.5 mainly since this revolver has shown to be really comfortable.
