Veering farther from the OP's questions I would agree with you. The RBL is just another SxS. For new guns in its price range a fairly nice example. I am well pleased with mine, it is balanced slightly foreward of the pin and the weight is as close to what I wanted that I won't change a thing. The gun fits me well, I shoot it well. I have handled two other RBL 16's that I would not have been satisfied with. Not set up like I like and just didn't have the weight or "feel" I would want. Had I recieved a gun like that it would have been quickly sold. Not because it was a bad gun, just not what I'm after. It might be the next person's "just right".
