Well I managed to pick up one of these revolvers and so far so good. it shoots really well although I need a little more practice shooting a revolver vs my semi auto pistols. The finish is not great at all, but kind of expected for the price point. Functionality was 100% after a little over 100rds of mixed 38spl & 357mag and shot very straight, the weight of the pistol kept recoil in check even shooting the 357mag loads. Overall I'm pretty happy with it for the money spent I think its a pretty good deal honestly for someone looking for an entry level wheel gun and don't want to spend a lot to get one. This will be a long term test gun for the channel I think to see how well it holds up, so far all expectations are above par..
