I don't own one, but I've shot my buddy's...with my handload developed for my 2 SA's. It shoots on par with every other 3" revolver I shoot; 5 shots in <1.5" @ 50 feet benched. The DA is extremely easy to stack; can't say I've ever shot one that was easier.
I find the gap unsightly (pretty good, huh?), but he doesn't seem to mind. Being a purely cosmetic issue, I'd make it disappear in a heartbeat with some black JB weld and a razorblade trim...no harm, no foul.
