Any one seen one of these yet at there Lgs? Looks like a good fishing, woods walking gun.

Agree, but surely those weights are incorrect???

carry the 2" model. The one we have right now locks up tight, almost as tight as the older Colts. The action could use an action job but as is isn't bad at all. The weight shown is wrong. The gun is a +P 38 spl and that is about the same as a 357 and at 16 ounces it would get your attention real quick. My guess is around the 22 to 28 ounces. It comes with the special VZ grips. The gun is a good one and perfect size for woods walking, or bar hopping in the wrong part of town.
