Well, it is a keeper. I can use it, with the tiny/thin grip panels, with mild ammo. If I decide to let it go, my wife has first dibs. Actually, it is all I can do to keep her from claiming it, as it is.

Other than the price, I think that's a great gun for the one-box-of-ammo-a-year gun owner who isn't going to carry concealed. A 3" or 4" tube would arguably be better.
Short .357's are pretty neat. I like to buy & use magnums in 4", but I also have a 2 1/2" Python and it's so easy to carry & conceal.
I really enjoy the gun.
The number of people who carry a revolver is a small %, the number who carry an N-frame is a "smaller" %, but quite a few people do it.
That's a good price on ANY N-frame in my part of the world.
Stopped by my parents’ house and got my dad’s out. It really does have a great trigger.

I had the L frame, 7 shot version of this.
I honestly tried. I put on Nill stocks, I tried damn near every load I could find.
Nope, all it did was punish me.
I actually prefer shooting my 57-5 Mountain gun in .41 Mag more than that little bastard.
It was just pure suck.
Thank goodness another forum member here saved me from that little bastard.
I cannot imagine the N frame being any more enjoyable.
I wish they'd make a run of these as eight-shot 627s. Simple, classic style, stainless. No PC/snubby/Ti/milled flats unnecessary nonsense.
