Although I think they are cool, and a sweet concept, we had 2 at work, both broke from being handled (i broke the snubby) from being handled before they could even be sold. Trigger just went limp. I think after the kinks are worked out though they could be sweet wheel guns.Quote:

So was I, until it broke just from de-cocking it. Still think they just need stronger internals?Quote:

Last I looked they were still at or over 700 bucks. Even for how good it is I think it's hard to justify when you can get a Ruger GP100 for 450. But if that's a price point you are comfortable with it is a fine choice.
I looked at one yesterday. odd thing is i was informed of the same issues you mentioned. For the price point i could score a nice 4" S&W .357Quote:

Anybody look at the pic that they have of the trigger/hammer mechanism? I'm not surprised that they break, looks like way too many parts to me. And with the barrel on the bottom the sight parallax seems to be pretty large. I wonder how their accuracy is when you have shots at various ranges.
The internals look like a swiss watch to be quite honest. Nice guns, but I've heard the same thing. I couldn't justify owning one for the price.
