I think this was one of the best...

packages I put together. Not near as bulky as some of the others, such as the Ruger Hunter series, or SRH I also own. For a while I put this scope on it and found it very pleasurable. The scope didn't hang off too far, overall it was well balanced and packed nicely. It afforded a considerable range too. Cheap practice with .40 S&W and flaming power only a cylinder change away. I'm going to break it back out for domestic use. Recoil is in the .41 Magnum class, well suited to the #5 type grip. I was shooting 200 gr. bullets easily at 1500+ fps. It's about perfect.
