Our Rating + The Trigger pull is AMAZING! I was very impressed with the smoothness of the action and the pull weight was not very heavy at all, but not too light. + The gun balances well in the hand. + The heavy weight of the pistol (54 oz.) helps soak up some of that .44 Magnum recoil. + The built in provisions for scope mounting on the Hunter model are a real plus.
- The heavy weight is both a plus and a minus. You would want a good holster to carry this in the field all day. - The rubber grips that came on it did not allow me to hold the gun well. The factory wood grips helped me maintain control of the revolver much better. Others may have a different experience.
Score: 8.5 Great!!!!
