It's a .357 Magnum, Stainless Steel, with a two inch barrel - and looking good.
It's looking good to me because there's no way we will be shooting one down here - because of the 2 inch barrel length - but it seems to be tidy looking and 'chunky' enough to be a 'Ruger'. (The Kimber cylinder latch works by pushing-in like a Rugers.)
- Internal hammer so double-action only - but it looks neat from the rear end too. - Thin cylinder walls but..
Of course - it may well have a smooth trigger feel set at around 10 pounds - but use full-bore factory Magnum ammunition and it's going to bark loudly, spit flames from every orifice, and smack you about a bit if you aren't hanging on tight. - Some folk enjoy that eh.
It will be interesting to keep an eye on these to see if the production models retain a good reputation and take-off up the popularity charts.
I see this wee revolver listed in US 'Shooting Times' as MSRP $899 - it ought to be good eh.

P.S. We've had three wee earthquakes yesterday/today - no damage other than scaredy-cats.
