 here she is. great shooting lil' piece. i really do think that FA is doing better work now than ever. trigger and fit and finish on this one and my 7.5" both gotten in the last year or so are better than any previous FA i've had. very very nice guns. glad to see FA has never fallen off in quality.

Obviously, you now need three arms and hands. Perhaps, I could help you with your new found dilemma. Nice stable!

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

took her out tonight and shot her, shoots great, really really likes my beartooth 280grain load which is deceptively easy recoilwise. it is an hs6 load which shoots great and should shoot about 1300-1350fps i'm guessing, gonna chrony soon.

Tradmark,
Beautiful revolver! I also believe that the fit and finish of FA's I've seen and gotten in the last year or two is the best it's ever been.
