Well, do you?

What do you like or don't like about it compared to the comparable Ruger or S&Ws?

There was lots of speculation here when it was first announced, and apparently they have had very limited production thus far. Only two of them on Gunbroker right now, it seems they are going for $800+

Haven't seen one. Hickok liked it.

I'd be more interested if it weighed 15-18 oz instead of mid 20s

Will it require tuning like it's older cousins ?

It's 2 Oz lighter than the Ruger Sp101 and holds an extra round. The SP101 barrel is .5" longer.

As the owner of a 17 Oz LCR, a little weight isn't a terrible thing in a .357 snub nose.

LOL, the Trooper MkIII has 10K plus through it, the Python 2500ish, the Agent and Viper both being alloy a couple hundred, the Boa is quite rare so no, the King Cobra has 3500 plus through it , I've shot my Colts and plenty more enough to know you are full of shit if you think a Colt any Colt under normal conditions need to be "tuned".

Does that answer your question?

I also own a double handful of S&W and Ruger revolvers none of which have needed this "tuning" you refer to.

As close as I can find is a S&W model 66 a 6-shot 357 Mag K-frame with a 2.75 inch barrel.  MSRP $849.  That is $50 cheaper than the cheapest version of the K6 and includes adjustable sights where the K6 is fixed sights.

Stop believing all the internet stories
Colt revolvers will withstand a lot of shooting before going out of time if you take care of them a little...no different than S&W revolvers.
