I have the steel frame 22 wmr and 22 LR. It is a heavy gun compared to other revolvers, but solid and well built with a lifetime warranty. The sights are nice and compare very well to my S&W 686 sights. I have the 4.5 inch barrel but was pleasantly surprised with how accurate it is. I've never had any problems with sticky chambers on mine. Some will reply to this with negativity regarding the Alpha Projs, but I am well satisfied with it, especially in this price range. I have Colts, S&Ws, Rugers etc. so do have experience with a variety of guns.
