Beautiful and very well made. This model has the pinned front site, so it's able to be changed out (I put an xs site on mine). Wood grip fits well in palm for a firm grip. Great concealed carry. I put it in a Harry's holster. For the price, probably the best .38 snub nose revolver you can find. Very pleased with this purchase and Buds shipping was fast as usual.
