Sweetest magnum revolver ever made by any company.
The fixed sights are regulated to 158 grain bullets anyway, stick to 158 grains and you can go as hot as the data allows without problems. Do not shoot 125s or, worse, lighter. Make sure it's not already cracked. I strongly advise some kind of rubber stocks - the light weight that makes it a joy to carry makes it bite the hand a little harder. Bill Jordan advised police shooters when it came out to practice with .38 special and carry Magnum loads; I'd say use the load you plan to carry and dress the revolver appropriately.
Buy a copy of the Jerry Kuhnhausen S&W Revolver book. Even if you never do a touch of gunsmithing, it will help you understand the weapon far better.
I paid ~$300 for this one, my EDC. I found a spare hammer to trim because I don't believe in single action on a carry piece. DAO because if I pull that trigger I want to f**king mean it.
I've churned through many handguns but since I bought this one I have not bought any others. I do not expect to ever have a different carry revolver unless I find the same thing with a 3" barrel that's ex-FBI.
