My Dad was a cop back in the seventies and he had the exact model you are talking about. .357 magnum three or four inch barrel, and blued.
He had it forever (he swapped a Colt Trooper for the CA and a deer rifle) and it worked fine. It actually had a tighter cylinder lock up than my model 65, if that says anything.
The gun was not exactly pretty. The barrell was skinny and the bluing wore off everything fast. But it shot good, had a good trigger and was accurate not to mention EXTREMELY light weight.
The only problem with it was that it KICKED like a mule.
