They are neat guns. I used to shoot plates with a guy who had a really nice old one. Not quite as accurate as a P210, but damn near. They are not inexpensive guns and .38 wadcutter is not always the easiest cartridge to find. It is very light and easy to shoot. It also makes nice clean holes in the paper
S&W makes a more recent iteration called the 952 thats chambered in 9mm Para and uses the Wilson adjustable site. Its also a nice gun, but Id rather have an old 52-2 anyday.
