Congratulations! I've got the same gun, (different stocks) and love it. Weighs a little more than my other five shot wheelies but it's a rock solid gun.

Nice sturdy revolvers for sure.
Congrats! I had one like that too - but left the stock grips on it. Gave it to my daughter as she really liked shooting 38 Specials in it.

Was my favorite gun until it was stolen.
Very accurate for the barrel length.
Still one of my favorite carry pieces. Even though the factory grips are a bit small, I really like them (swapped out the original black plastic inserts for Rosewood).
I shot it yesterday. Perfect carry and great shooter.
what'd it cost?
Looks like a fun shooter!!!! Enjoy!
I just saw one of these in a local paper for about $400 with about 200 rounds of ammo. I would have jumped on it but we were traveling and I really don't want another new caliber to collet. But a revolver would sure be nice. Congratulations.

Had over 10K hits before I accidentally deleted all of my vids...

OSOK, my best bud's daughter just turned 14. He's going to buy a high quality 22 pistol for her to learn to shoot on.
What did your daughter learn to shoot on? Also, why do so many females lean back when firing a firearm?

I think they all do. A friend I am teaching to shoot leans back when shooting a pellet pistol.Originally Posted by American Rage

My bud's wife does no matter what she's shooting. Whether it be handgun, rifle, or collapeable stock AR!
lol

I gave $275 with the holster.
She learned on a single shot .22 rifle, various .22 pistols. The key to the revolver is to use standard pressure .38 Specials - in the heavy SP101, they are very mild.
And I didn't want to correct her form too much - I didn't like the thumb on the wrist either... the most important thing was for her to enjoy and have a positive experience shooting - and be able to shoot double action and change points of aim and hit them.
She's not a gun nut by any stretch and I was just happy she wanted to shoot at all...

IMO Balance, girls are built different then men.
I suspect you're right. By the way, my bud's wife routinely outshoots him. But then again her father was a competitive shooter.

Damn! I paid $425 OTD for mine. It was listed as "Used but un-fired". The guy at the counter said a little guy had bought it a week before, then returned a few days later. Either sissy-boy thought it was too heavy or the wife flipped and made him return it.
Good price on yours man! That was a steal for sure!
