A few usual wear marks (blueing worn down at the end of the barrel from somebody playing "quickdraw", small scratches from a trigger lock, etc.) but the gun is TIGHT!

I was drawn to the piece because of it's changeable barrel. Guys and gadgetry, you know how we are!

I guess these were/are the hot set-up for long distance target shoots.

So anyway, does anyone own one or has experience with them?
Across the board they are pretty desirable. Haven't heard anything that would indicate low quality. Many of them are 'safe queens', so if you happen to find one in good or even better conditions, get it.

Pricing should be considerable below similar S&W models.
