I actually had one for a while a couple years ago. Depending on what you consider recent. I bought it with absolutely no knowledge of the firearm and it was a great deal. If I remember correctly I paid 175 for it. It went bang every time and was as accurate as I was as long as I did my part. I wish I'd a kept it. If not for anything else, as a pickup gun. It was a little thick compared to some others but weight never really bothered me. The only complaint I ever really had was that the cylinder would bind up during any shooting stint that lasted more than about a cylinder or two. I didn't have any feeler gauges but just from eyeballing it, it was a really close fit between the cylinder and the forcing cone. I could barely see light through it freshly cleaned and holding a flashlight behind it. Carbon buildup would kill my range trip if I didn't bring a brush with me. That might be a rare occurrence but I've heard of it before with this particular firearm.
