Just back from the range. Ran about 80 rds of 158 gr through the pair. The snubbie, as expected, is not a range gun. Controllable but snappy. It's trigger has a lot of creep even when cocked. Did not notice any grittiness however. The other has the same type trigger pull. Lot of creep & no grit. It is much more comfortable to shoot for obvious reasons (bigger/rubber grips and longer barrel).

Had a few FTF in the M200 (4 in). Two would not fire regardless of number of tries, a couple fired on second attempts. No name brand of ammo so I'll attribute the problem to bad primers. Also had a brief issue with the cylinder not rotating after shot was fired. Happened only once though.

Oddities: (seen with both guns)

I was a better shot in DA than in SA, perhaps because I was not staging the trigger(?).
The pull in DA seemed lighter than the pull in SA, no logical explanation for this.
In closing, at $255 ea. I think these are definite winners. Now to just find cheap ammo to feed them.....

Ok how are they and anyone else shot them? I have been looking for a S&W on a broke ass New fathers budget and can't find even a used Smith for under 400 that hasn't been rode hard and put away wet? If they are better then some of the others I'm really interested and where did you pick it up?


Wanting a snubby 38 BUG.

They are not Colts, Smiths, or Rugers. Then again I didn't expect them to be. But how can you go wrong with the RIA warranty and the price if their gonna be used as BUGs?

Got them from my LGS. Went in looking for the snubbie but the voices told me to take home its brother too. Can't break up a family now can ya'?

I really like the snubbie! always wanted a colt but never had the chance, might have to get one of these instead.
