I read somewhere that the Weathershieldis only a plating, and that the bore is still blued, so you're really not gaining an advantage. I looked at the Triumph, and it's a really nice gun, but I did find the action to be a little awkward. It seemed to me to be opposite of how it should be, but then I have a Contender and figured it would work like that. I'm sure if you used it a lot, you would get used to it. Otherwise, a very nice gun.
