It was supposed to be for my daughter, but she liked an old Charter Arms Undercover .38 I had better.

It's a .357 snubbie.

It's indistinguishable from a S&W when you take the side plate off, same springs, same hammer block safety pretty much the same finish quality.

Semi's on the other hand are a lot more complex. Having shot and handled a few, including field stripping and cleaning I'd never trust a Llama, Taurus or other South American made look alike.
