I had one that went out of timing in less than a hundred rounds, you can find ruger lcr's around the same price or a s&w j frame for a little more. I also believe snubbies are terrible choices for novice shooters
Let's amplify it a bit. Like buying wife a dress not knowing anything about her dress size, fit or preferred colors.Over and over I say, she must shoot it first. It is an experts gun, and the most common mistake is buying the cute little gun for the woman that can't shoot it and does not know it will kick much worse than a medium sized gun. Picking out a gun for someone else without her trying it first is worse than buying her clothes for her. Good luck.
Mine was stainless, don't think the finish had much to do with the quality. About 30 years ago I had a bulldog 44 special that was a great gun, but I don't think there is much relationship of the modern charter arms company and the one from 30 years agoYou had one of those pink framend pistols?....;/
I had an older one for about 15 years.
I believe everyone I knew shot that thing, thousands of round
If you knew the aiming point, you just about couldnt miss at 10 yards or so
Shot it so much the grips broke, had to duct tape them back on, everyone said that helped reduce the recoil, I didnt notice it much
The only time it ever got cleaned, was when It fell out of my pocket in the creek, when I found it the next day, I shook the water out of it and it worked just fine
Everyone liked it so much, just about all of them wanted to buy it
I finally sold it about 10 years ago fo r$100...(he wanted it...)
A fine little gun, just dont baby it, but sparingly use the +p if at all
It was a stainless model ..."undercover .38 SPL".....around 1977 manuf date...Bridgeport Conn.
