That gun would have left with me too. Since it was that cheap you might want to have a gunsmith give it a check-up. I'm thinking timing and springs with a good internal cleaning to boot.
That L frame should make a great belt carry gun. I'm guessing 2" barrel. The L frames were designed to take a steady diet of magnum rounds (vs the K frames that weren't). I think a Ruger would outlast it but your hands likely won't last that long.
I'm almost positive that the L frame grips are the same as the K frame ones. It appears to be a round butt as well.
Something to check, that ejector rod might be too short to easily clear the empties. If so you should practice working it quickly like on a small frame gun.
