Quote History Quoted:
Mine locks up tight and the action was surprisingly good. I was surprised with how good it was when I held it at the shop and was the deciding factor on whether or not I'd pick it up. Sights are good, trigger is pretty good although I hardly shot it double action. I was using remington golden bullets (all I had with me at the time) and from 15 yards I was shooting about the size of an Eisenhower dollar. It's probably capable of much better given I have tremors. Sorry, no pics yet. I've been running around all day.

Sounds like you got a reasonable deal on a reasonable gun and are having fun with it . All good .
Not to single you out and pick on you but whenever I read these threads I do a facepalm and shake my head. I know S&W revolvers are pricey but if some of you guys who "Don't shoot much double action" would save a bit longer or shop harder and buy a gun with a good trigger you might have a way to learn how to shoot double action. There are plenty of guys with Taurus , Rossi ,Charter Arms and even Ruger who think you have a OK or even decent trigger but for the most part you don't . Pretty good or ok doesn't cut it when you are talking double action revolvers.
S&W guns are generally pretty good from the factory and they also generally get slicker with use . Older Colts are nice if you can find one and I also really like the Ruger LCR line . Most anything else I have tried is clearly second rate and quite difficult to shoot double action.
Sorry this comes off as a rant , trust me that it is not intended that way but I encourage anyone interested in a revolver to pay close attention to the quality of the trigger
