I bought this gun on a whim a couple of months ago as a possible backup
for my backup.
Finally got it out to the range yesterday. I was impressed with its workmanship and overall quality.
Loading is a bit of a pain and it takes extra attention to muzzle discipline when pulling out the cylinder pin and removing the cylinder.
I have large hands so pushing the little release button whle simultaneously
pulling foward on the pin takes some getting used to.
The gun also must be put at half cock to remove the cylinder.
Once I had the rounds loaded into the cylinder putting it back in is easy
except for the fact that sliding the pin back and getting the holes aligned
makes it easy to get your hand in front of the muzzle.
Since this revolver has a spur trigger I squeezed the grips with one hand while cocking the hammer with the other as to not be anywhere near the trigger while cocking the gun.
The sights consist of ligning up the cocked hammer with a vestigal front sight.
Squeezing the gun between my right thumb and index finger I used my left index finger to work the trigger.
The trigger was crisp and the little popgun fired hitting about six inches right
and 3 inches down from where I had the sights aligned.
The scary part was despite my death grip, the gun flipped in my grasp and was pointing directly right of me luckily at the railroad ties and not the
cops standing behind them.
I tried different grip methods finally finding one that sent the muzzle pointing straight up.
Groups were 15 inches at 7 yards but would probably be better if shot by
a three year old with the proper sized hands for the task.
I like the gun but I don't think it would make a good self defense weapon
unless it was at contact range. Who would want to do that?
I think its going into a shadowbox with a stuffed and mounted field mouse.
