That gun has been one of the best handling guns I ever bought. I would sell all my guns before that one if it ever came down to it. I have carried it enough to wear the case color off. It has thousands of rounds through it without ever missing a beat. This includes the dirty shooting crap we shot in Africa. Looked like you were shooting black powder when you touched off a round.
I have quite a few S X S's and I feel the same about my 20 S & W......I wear gloves, so no case color wear, but it sure is a nice handling gun for the few thousand rounds that I've fired through it..........
and it will shoot anything you put in it............That is why I bought another one in 16 gauge.........
If it is lost, stolen or damaged for those of us that travel around the world, it can be replaced with another new one for less than a King's Ransom........
They are winners.......
