I have a 4" .357 from the Monson era which is a dream to shoot. Shotrly after I purchased it, the shroud worked a tad loose, I bought the little wrench and snugged it up and it hasn't budged in ~500 rounds, about half of them Magnums. It is a great pistol and it is nice to be able to switch out barrels and shrouds depending on your need. There is a need to maintain the barrel/cylinder gap and shroud tightness, but the increased functionality is worth buying the wrench from CZ for $13 or whatever. Fortunately, now that they are owned by a reputable maker with a good customer service department, parts have become pretty available.
