[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 2992810, member: 5391"] Picked it up this morning and my initial impression was mixed. It is a very sturdy-appearing gun, and it is amazingly heavy but on reflection, that should not have been surprising since it has a lot of metal in the barrel with the full under-lug and it being a 22, leaves a lot of material that would be taken out of a larger-caliber gun. The grips (the same ones as in the picture in the OP) were very comfortable and it seems to be well-made and exceedingly strong. The thing that I am concerned with is the terrible trigger pull. I mean it is just plain terrible. It is rough, gritty and (in a major turnabout from S&W) quite stagy. Now, in all fairness, the gun is brand-new and this could be a major factor, and I expect that it will wear in as I shoot it. So, with that, I'll do that in a few days and get back with you on how it shoots. In the meantime, I'll cycle the action a few times and see how that wears it in. Once I get it broken in, I'm confident that I'll really like it. [/QUOTE]
