its no where near as nice as the other offerings by Smith and colt, but this was the first time I ever gave a revolver a chance and shot it (the flyers are from me trying to learn the grip) and I really enjoyed that pistol, really regret letting it go now, should have sold my clunker to buy a work horse sooner and kept it, but oh well. Other than that its just nostalgic for me, beautiful gun though, even had a night sight insert and adjustable rear sights dunno if I could Polish it though?? would that be possible? ain't worried about resaleNever cared for the scalloped barrels on the pro series, but I do have a 3" M60-16 that I absolutely love so I understand where you are coming from. They are sweet. J frame 357s are a bit vicious for me. Not sure why I care since I never shoot them, but I digress.
