I am shocked after all that I have heard the Ruger SP101 that I got to feel had a really rough action, and the Taurus that you don't always hear good things about had a silky smooth action and was real tight. I guess it shows that every one lets a rough one slip by occasionally, and some more than others. I am just glad my particular choice was a good one!
This is not going to stop me from finding a good example of the Ruger,hopefully in 327 mag so I can play with a new caliber. I also am considering a 38spl Colt Agent with a 2'' bbl. Now the wife has me wanting a snub!
