Always wanted one, finally picked one up. I’ll add it to my carry rotation. Need some good leather. Put 12 rounds through it and it was right on at 10 yards with 158 grain .357.
Congrats. They are solid guns that will last a good long time. Holsters can be a personal thing, especially leather. Not that I carry it around owb in the summer, but in the winter months I have a DeSantis leather holster for my 66.
The funny thing about these heavy barrel fixed sighted Smiths is that they are usually dead on at 25 and the rear sight cut out lines up perfectly with an 8" steel plate well enough that people will think you're a cheat.

I would like to have a 3inch but when I saw this nickle pinned and recessed 4inch on GB I could not resist. Added Culina magnas in American holly to it.
