I was amazed at the speed of delivery of this item. It arrived well-packed but I have yet to open it as this is part of a birthday present and the birthday has not happened yet! However, the price and speed of delivery was brilliant.

Surfing guns deal found this revolver available. Received it ahead of schedule. I could not be more pleased. A rugged handgun, heavy to absorb. just what it wanted. LOCK-UP is good. I will pass this weapon on after I’m gone. You need not pay thru the nose for quality. Give it your attention, you won’t be sorry
