I had one that came from OD. I'm pretty sure it ended up going to Doc Hudson when I was done with it. It had been cut down, roughly, so I smoothed up the muzzle and put a crown on it. Made a front sight and it ended up being a good little shooter. I fed it mainly with the standard 3.5 gr bullseye and a 158 cast bullet. Due to the design and possible softnitalian steels, I'd definitely take it easy on them, but being modern made, any .38 load should be ok in them.
