I had one, let it get away, and I'm still bummed. I bought it new as a carry piece, but I had better ones, so I gave it to my idiot son-in-law. He sold it, after I made him promise that if he ever wanted to get rid of it, he'd call me first. He's still on my Schmitt List!
The good news is, I got a line on a Rossi gun just like it in stainless, and will pick it up this week. What I learned from the other one is this: Grips matter a LOT. They need to be hand-filling, though not necessarily large. Recoil isn't stout, but it is abrupt from a short-barreled gun, and this one is no exception. The cowboy ammo I tried was much milder than my handloads, and the strength of the cylinder is an issue if you want to shoot hot handloads. I'd stay within standard pressures in this case, it is NOT overbuilt. It's still a pocket gun. If you want magnum performance, get a magnum, this gun isn't one!
All in all, it's a neat gun, not as concealable as a 38, but then, it hits a lot harder than any 38, and that's why I like it!
