I had an early, 3" fixed sight model and loved it. Shot exactly to point of aim with a rather stout load of 250 hard Keiths SWC's and Unique. Had two different grips, couple of holsters, and used it as a woods gun. Always ran a cylinder or two through it when I was out.
Foolishly, my loads were not as mild as yours, and I shot the thing loose and out of time. But I did shoot it a great deal.

Same with one of there early 2" .38's the "Undercover". Ammo not the problem, I just shot the thing more than the engineering intended.

Great little guns, but my belief now is, despite the era, they are for carrying more and shooting less.

But I'd buy a tight old model 3" or the Target model if I could find one.
