Oh yes it is. I picked this up years ago, towards the end of the heyday of revolver trade-ins for under a hundred bucks. Rick Devoid did some clean up and it has been an occasional shooter ever since. I used it in Greg E’s close quarter revolver class at the Revolver Roundup in 2022.
That looks almost exactly like what's in my desk drawer.

No N-Frame’s thumb latch ever made me bleed, but N-Frame Target Hammers, with their huge, wide spurs, lacerated various parts of my anatomy, several times, in places from my elbow, while the weapon was holstered, to my thumb, during rushed draws. My most-carried N-Frame, a Model 58 .41 Magnum, had an M&P-style spur, which was never a problem, but the Target Hammers on Models 629, 25-2, and 657 did bite me. I unceremoniously sawed the spur from the 657’s hammer. Eventually, I realized that my index fingers were simply not long enough to do best DA trigger work with N-Frames, so, I stopped carrying them, which eliminated the problem.
Edited to add: I would like to buy an 8-3/8” Model 27, or pre-27, just “because.” Because Texas. Maybe 6” or 6.5”. I’ll shoot it single action, which brings the trigger within reach of my index finger, while I maintain an ergonomically-proper grip.

I kinda went the other way... just a little bit heavier.
