I've owned this little revolver for a little over two years now. I've put several hundred if not a thousand rounds through it without a single hic-up. What I like best about it is that although the hammer is shrouded to reduce snags you can still cock it for single or double action. The single action is crisp the double action is smooth and predictable. Just like you would expect from from a Smith and Wesson. It is as accurate as a _2" barrel can be. That being said, it punishes the hand if you are going to be shooting more than a few rounds.

As for a CC firearm, it is dependable, light and very concealable. It disappears great with a pocket or IWB holster and I hardly notice it is there. The only downside is it is only a five round gun so if you carry it as a primary, plan to make every shot count; I've added a CT laser to mine.

And Buds was great as usual.

Bud's service sterling as always. Too bad my security clearance with the fed always slows things down a few days. Fired great to begin with and awesome after I did a trigger job. 11.27 avg double. 1.82. I have a 642 that I improved the trigger pull on and put pink crimson traces for my wife for her to have. Can't ever go wrong with a Smith or Bud's. Hoefully they both stay that way!

This is my 4th purchase from Buds and I have always had great service and fast delivery. I thought I would so something different this purchase and pay via e-check. If you want your weapon quickly don't pay cash. I ordered on the 29Sep, payment cleared 1Oct, credited to Bud's account on 5Oct. Shipped and on 9Oct and delivered on 10Oct. My next purchase will be with credit card or debit card for faster delivery. This little 38 is great for my wife. She was unsure of the the trigger pull at first but realized that she would not accidently pull the trigger. Taking her back to the ranger tomorrow to punch more holes so she can become more comfortable with pistol. Thanks for everything.
