The earlier reviews are not hype. Mine is a model 85F in nickel.I purchased it new approximately 20 years ago and have had no issues, not one single jam. I mainly use Federal Hydra-shok JHP but have fired many different brands. It has not been a safe queen either I have carried this gun more than any other I own. It has been under car and truck seats, in bad weather, rubbed on, tossed around, not babied by any means. The only complaint I could have is some of the finish has chipped off around the groves on the front of the trigger guard and on the rear of the frame, it's personality really it resembles Cheetah spots. I am 1000% satisfied with this gun and am pleased to have owned it.
