Beware of my temper, and the dog that I've found...
I had its sibling, the 296, good shooter for a small .44, but like trying to conceal a box of Cheerios.
I had one. The idea was a service-sized Centennial. It was just a bit too light at under 20 ounces with the titanium cylinder. That combined with the reduced areas of the lightened back strap concentrated the recoil in the palm of the hand. The light weight would have been nice for carry, but it was a lot harder to shoot than a PC M681 Quadra-Port even with the latter stoked with magnums. It needed an L-frame holster, and some extra weight would have made range sessions more tolerable. I think it would have sold better with a steel cylinder. Or not as it looked funky. Mine went down the road in favor of the M681. Same capacity, basically the same size, and a lot more pleasant to shoot. And no worries about wearing through the coating on the titanium cylinder with the PC M681.
