I' d say it' s a great gun, other than I have no use for a 2" bbl, great for a p-defense weapon, but not much else. The .44spcl loaded in that gun would be a decent deer gun even, if it had a longer bbl, that stubber doesn' t give it much more premise than a p-defender, but, if that' s what you want for it, pick it up before someone else does!!!
