Finally pulled the trigger and bought one. The talk is true. The double action is sweet! I have not shot it yet. I have a bunch of 125 and 158 target loads to plink away with. I want it, but I had the gal in mind too when I got it. When I showed it too her she actually seemed excited. She is strong enough to pull the trigger and open the cylinder with ease. Most my guns are hard for her to operate. If we are gun shopping for her she makes her own decisions. I think I lost it to her. We will see when she shoots it. Plus P loads will prob kick a bit. I shot the lighweight smith 44 mag with full bore 300 gr loads, and talk about recoil. Its worse than the casull. Even my little light weight 22lr barks a bit. Anyway...I hope we she likes shooting it cause it is going to get some use. Prob going to try it today.
