I have one. Also had the black one but my best friend wanted it after shooting it. Mine has been flawless. Yes, flawless. During Covid lock down i shot it for 3 months and no other pistol/revolver from my other ones. I shot double action only. Well over 1500 rounds. 1000 of them were reloads. Maybe only 150 rounds were .357 though. I was a much better shot after 3 months. I carry a s&w 642 mainly now because it is lighter. Still have the 605 and may carry it some again. I put the full-size hogue black rubber grips on it right away though. Made it much better to shoot. Don’t listen to the people that base these 605s, get one. They are fun to shoot and can make you a better shooter if you practice that double action
