I know the feeling mate.
Those were damn good guns actually. Did they make those in 9"? i thought they were only 4 or 6" available?
Could be wrong though. I thought they were a copy of the 586 Smith, but as I said, I'm not that familiar with those tbh.

Edit.
Seems it was a copy of the S&W Mod 19?, which was quite a legendary gun from Smith.

See above mate - copy of the S&W Mod 19.

Very nice gun though.

Good point mate, it doesn't.
Closest match I could find of what it's a clone of though...

Still, a great gun and a shame we can't have them anymore.
