They are very balanced for a 3" , Lot of meat there. Crisp trigger in SA and DA. I went to the shooting range a while back and these WC are so balanced and shoot so sweet, I really like the SS one has such awesome sights in daylifght and it is super accurate. The blued one has great sight picture as well , the Novak sights are sweet. Shooting .38's are great but with the .357 magnum loads it really shows its stuff very fun to shoot holds on target. The grips are awesome and recoil is not as bad as you would think.
