Picked this up a couple of months ago for backpacking and a back up carry. 21/2" barrel with 8 shots of .357 magnum and only weighs around 24 oz. I have taken it out to the range a couple of times and it shot tight groups at 15 yards. I am pretty impressed with it so far, I have it loaded with hornaday hollows. In the winter i open carry my USPF .45 and slide this hot little number right into my coat pocket.

*I have read about issues with the firing pin failing to strike the primer hard enough due to the drop safety S&W used to get it on the list for the People's Republic of California but fixed it and I am 99%positive this is one after the matter.

Next time I go to the range I will provide a more in depth report of it's accuracy.
