Mine was grouping as well as any .22 revolver when the hand broke.
OotB, there was a problem with a loose front sight; but Heritage
fixed that for me and very quickly.

Ah ha! After a few thousand rounds, the hand broke on mine. My
gunsmith said it would cost more to fix that to replace so it's been
retired ever since. For $8, elbow grease and skull sweat I'd be glad
to have that revolver back in service.

Thanks!
