Great gun, if you like big bore revolvers. This was the first brand new gun I''ve bought. At first I thought it might be used due to it being dull and dungy. Turns out that new guns are coated in a protective coating and once I cleaned the gun off, it looked great. At the range you get a lot of WTF''s and OMG''s what''s that? I''ve only shot 400 gr. Magtech SJSP''s through it but I sure can say the recoil is immense and so is the muzzle flash along with the shock wave the bystanders next to you feel. The reason I''m only giving it 4 stars is that the cylinder will over rotate after shooting it sometimes. After much research it turns out this was a problem with earlier guns due to soft cylinder stop springs but now it''s more of how the shooter holds the gun and the recoil causing the finger to "double tap" the trigger allowing the cylinder to rotate an extra time after shooting. It''s not a safety concern but it does mean that you''ll skip rounds if you don''t hold the gun right (too soft). Overall a great gun that takes some practice on how to shoot. Two notes, don''t hold the gun too stiff (like a semi-auto) or you might hurt yourself. I stiff armed it and sprained my thumb. Also make sure your local ranges will let you shoot it. An indoor range by me originally let me shoot it but they then banned it because it was tearing up their back stop. Now the only place I can shoot it is at a Marine range by me that can handle rounds that powerful.
