Congrats Doc! I have the 357 version - same as yours with the 5 1/2" barrel and I love it. I went with the 357 due to the cost of ammo and I can shoot the less expensive 38 spl. in it. It's a great shooting gun and I haven't had a problem with it or any of my other 5 Rugers. At some point, I'd like to get one of the 45 LC to match it. I've been saving my brass from mine and hope to get into the reloading this winter some time.
Enjoy yours! Pretty soon you're going to have to build a new display case just for your new fangled cartridge guns!
