I have the 4-1/4" model 97 in .357. Bought it shortly after they came out.
The accuracy is incredible.
My trigger had a trace of creep when I first bought it, but that disappeared quickly and now it's perfect.
The grip shape is nice for handling recoil.
Negatives?
Well, you can't see if it's loaded because of the recessed chambers, not that big a deal.
The cylinder is relatively short on the 97, so no long nose bullets.
The grips are very smooth, they could use a little texture. Been thinking if getting my micarta grip panels checkered.
I broke a cylinder lock spring early on, and an action spring (their term) a couple years ago.
Of course they were fixed very quickly and at no charge.
The few negatives are nothing compared to the satisfaction of owning and shooting one.
