I had one of them years ago: pretty blue and case colors, oiled grips in .38 Special cal. The action out of the box was like it was tuned. That is the good news.
As a purist I have to say today this is one of those pistols that never were, i. e. the outline is that of a Richards conversion which was only done in Army configuration.
The dealer recommended very, very light .38 target loads because the proof house had denied her the seal of proof testing...which I did. And my load was too light and got stuck in the 7,5" barrel...and I fired another one without noticing. Eventually I had the barrel cut short to 4" which looked good and I sold her as a blank firing pistol.
A friend of mine had one from the same batch of production, too. He shot her with regular Wadcutters, no problems.
