Rock Island imported different calibers and cheaper versions. APF R-1 is importing only the 357 Magnum made in Stainless Steel.

I agree, usually carry a 1911 .45.

When I carry my 2.5 inch Python I also carry a backup .38, but then often do with the 1911 as well.

When hiking and spelunking I carry a .357 exclusively.
If an animal attacks it is fast and the revolver may be pressed into the body and fired shot after shot an automatic would jam

Use both — really love my revolvers — slept many nights in the wild with a single action revolver nearby!!!

Agree about your love of wheelguns, and the examples you show are worth checking out (and I will). And, AS a wheelgun fan, I will just say that for concealability, and “power in your pocket”, unfortunately, even the mini wheelguns don’t stack up. Just sayin’, is all. STILL love a beautiful wheelgun, and have a couple that I shoot frequently, but . . . I carry a compact semi-auto.

I would say the gun is hell for strong based on my firing experience.

I wish the company well, however, the fixed sight CZ revolver has been imported for some time by Rock Island Armory.
Retail is usually 5 to 600 for the fixed sight guns. I have test fired several. They seem rugged, with a strong action. The double action trigger
is very stiff. I would be reluctant to pay a Python price for these revolvers.
