I also got mine to the range today after picking it up last Sat. Mine didn't have any of the cometic Blems I've seen from other purchasers on the next. My trigger was horrible & I cleaned it up slightly with a 14lb rebound & 8lb. pound hammer spring. Now I just need to make sure it still functions with these reduced springs. But I've never had an issue in the past with this spring combo in centerfire J frames. The grips fit the hand well but weigh a ton. And wouldn't be my first choice for pocket carry or reduced weight carry.
My overall impression is these aren't really worth the $700+ price tag. Especially for the .38 spl. version. For about 1/2 the price, you can pick-up a 642 or 442, throw on some orange or green paint on the front sight, and your 90% there for a self-defense 5 shot. The big dot front will aid in seeing the front sight, but you're probably not going to try and make head shots at 25 yards. For most J frame user, a fist size group at 5-10 yards is all you'll really need. And that can be done with the standard sight.
The only real reason to get one is if you want .32 H&R mag in a LW J frame (which I did).
Anyway, that's my opinion if anyone is thinking about dumping there 442 or 642 for the .38 spl version. If you want the .32, I get it. Less recoil & and an extra shot. You also get extremely light recoil when you go down to an S&W .32 Long cartridge. Great for those that are recoil sensitive.
