Just received my Stealth Hunter with the Birdsong finish today. What an exceptionally nice revolver! The machining is very precise and detailed. The barrel is uniquely curvaceaous. The Birdsong finish is both striking and functional. It's built in rail will sure make mounting a scope for hunting a snap.
I was able to put 95 rounds downrange through her today consisting of 63 rounds of 240 grain PMC JHP, 18 rounds of Miwall 240 grain FMJ and 14 rounds of Miwal 240 grain +P+. The gun worked beautifully and the trigger has definitely seen the attention of a craftsman. The action cycled smoothly and with precision in double action. In single action the trigger is crisp as a winter's morning. Without a trigger pull gauge I'm guessing it at about 3.5 pounds.
It looks remarkable, it functions like a swiss watch, but what really is incredible is this gun's accuracy. Right off the bat, before any sight adjustments, I knew I was shooting a gun with great accuracy potential. Although the initial shots at 10 yards were low-left, they were grouped the size of a silver dollar. From there it only got better. With a few twists of the screwdriver the gun was matching POI with POA with uncanny accuracy. One of my best groups was with the +P+ at 15 yards all 6 rounds touching and overlapped.
I have an EOTech holographic sight which should work well on this gun, but I wonder if I should even bother after the results I achieved with the iron sights today.
It left me wondering, was it the gun, was it me, or was it just one of those days where everything comes together? What a gun! What a day!
