    My 442UC is in hand. I’ll likely get a 432 if these become a regular production item; for now, logistics is hard to overcome and I consolidated all of my other revolvers to .38/.357.

    I sent an email to tech support today which I assume will result in them asking to see the gun.

    I’m at 4 FTRBs in less than 1,000 rounds.

    A new trigger bar seems to have improved things. The gun feels noticably smoother when hand cycling. I put 150 rounds through the gun with no issue today. And, this combo of parts made my trigger...

    I asked my FFL to do whatever it is he does to order one from Lipsey’s.

    I also emailed VZ Grips. Unfortunately, no plans to offer the grips separately at this time, which is a shame.
