Just grabbed my brand new 3" SS. There is slight play with the hammer cocked... very slight. So far, no indication that this is a problem as I've only put about 30 rnds down the pipe.
I'm currently carrying .357 Federal Hydrashocks, but shooting .38 FMJ on the range. The .38 rnds really dirty chambers and breech area. In a perfect world, the cheaper rounds would be mounted on a .357 casing.
And, even with the longer barrel, there's a good bit of kick from the .357 rnds. Otherwise, for the price I think I have a quality weapon that is easily concealable anywhere but pocket.
