No no no, you got the niche wrong with this one. Its a backup piece. I've had one for about 16-17 years now and I like it for what it is. True enough the ones with the shroud shoot loose and must be pinned in place by a gunsmith.
I apparently got one of the good models. Its a 2-1/2" bull barrel, no shroud. bobbed hammer, no snag ramp sight. I do not use it in SA mode, it is a defensive piece for spitting distance only, so DA only to be realistic. I do have to keep an eye on the pins at the range, they tend to walk out upon recoil (19 oz).
Its a gun to be carried much and shot little. For the price, its a decent little piece (MY model). I like it because it 'carries like a J frame, hits like an O frame.'
Its no target pistol.
