I received this...
I received this revolver from Buds via a great transaction and the processing was seamless with impressive shipping time. The revolver itself has fantastic fit and the tungsten finish is unique. Very ergonomic grips and it feels great. After about 100 rounds down range still no wear marks on the cylinder. Because the rear site is not adjustable finding the right load is going to get you in X ring. After getting the right load 6 of 12 shots found the bullseye at 24 feet. Also, there is a break in for the barrel. It seemed to settle in after about a dozen rounds. The front site is amazingly bright. Six round capacity was a prerequisite which can be tough to find in a .38 only platform. There are also tons of carry options available for the 856 3inch barrel. Very happy with the revolver and highly recommend it.
