[QUOTE="Blue Heeler, post: 3569077, member: 46613"] One can't go wrong with a wheel gun. Only had one that didn't work right ... it was a SW 629 DX. Had to send it back a couple times to SW because the cylinder was locking up. Possibly the most accurate handgun (test target had five shots in a quarter size group) I ever shot BUT I had no confidence in it. After the last time I got it back, I sold it. From my experience ... stay away from any SW that puts that clear coat finish over their stainless frames. I have a SW 637 from their Performance Center and after four years, it's starting to peel and it is not covered by their warranty. While it's a great little gun ... sucks to have to refinish it after a few years. One of the SW's I wish I had back was a SW 27 with the 8 3/8" barrel. My boss at the time saw it and had to have it. Company fired him a couple of months later. Should have tried to wait him out. One of my all time favorites is a 4" SW M629 (no dash) that my late brother gave me when I graduated college the first time. It was tuned and ported by the late great, Larry Kelly and it is amazing.
