Just returned home from picking it up at my LGS. I am a little surprised at the heft, it feels about as heavy as an Uberti or Pietta 1873. The quality looks very good but not great and has what looks like a black finish, not the blued finish. The roll marks could be more crisp and some a filled with white (paint?). The action is super smooth and locks into place easily with good audible clicks. Half cock is also smooth and crisp rotating the cylinder clockwise only again with crisp, audible clicks that allows for easier loads and unloads. The trigger is also smooth and crisp with almost no takeup. I thought this one came with plastic grips so I was pleasantly surprised to find they are actually wood grips. If you put this next to an original 1873 Colt you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.
