This particular revolver was Ruger's item number KGP141. The construction is stainless steel with a 4 "barrel and adjustable rear sight. It is" full size "as a duty to police the weapon for example. It's great band for walking or fishing or camping" out in the middle of nowhere, especially since Cougar-human encounters are on the rise, as cougar populations flourish because cougar hunting was a few years ago limited.
