just received mine in 2.75" barrel.
It is so very smooth and very easy to load the cylinder from double action to make it single action once everything is staged. Staging mine is a breeze.!!
I have maybe 100 rounds through it.
I didn't like the slick wood grips - so I wrapped some Wilson Tennis rubber Grip tape on it and see if it might make a difference.
Such a suhweeeet shooter and so light recoil in 38 Special.
Awesome iron.
