My brother in law, before he opted to become a felon, had one of these revolvers. It was sturdy and resonable accurate, like most Ruger handguns. If you want to fire it double action, you can have a trigger job done if you want to shell out the cash. I've found that the double action pull will sometimes become smoother with a lot of use, but not lighter. You can cure the heaviness with a spring kit usually.

Andy,
I'll second what Bill Lester said about the spring kit I suggested. I have had some problems with them in a few pistols that I own. The problem used to be with CCI primers because the cup was a harder material than the Federals. The old Wichesters could be iffy, but I've had no problems whatsoever with the new ones in the blue boxes. The spring kits have come along some since the first ones I used. I'll take a heavier crisp trigger over a crappy light one. By the same token a smooth double action pull that is a little heavier is easier to use than a lighter one that is rough.
