A customer brought me a 4inch 66 for the house.

This is my take on one way to get it done.

I have been looking for an older Model 19. Finding one at a good price is like finding a needle in a haystack.

If I find one that needs some work and I can buy right, I will definitely contact you.

Why bob the hammer? I can see it for a snubbie that might go in a pocket but not on a 4" gun. Personal preference?

The gun looks great

The hammer bob does make the gun easier too deploy from concealment it does not have to be from a pocket.
It also lightens the hammer to make the gun have better ignition.
Once you have a revolver done in this way it's hard to ever see why on a fighting gun you would ever have a hammer that could snag on anything if you don't have to.

I hope that helps there is more but those are the big ones.

I was going to post a question regarding the bobbed hammer as well. Makes sense the way you put it. Very nice looking piece.

That is a beautiful revolver! Elegant but highly functional. I looked at your site and noted a number of your featured S&W revolvers had some type of Miculek-style grips, but had different finishes. Who makes them?

Pretty wheel gun and if don't ever need more than six shots in a high stress scenario, a great weapon to EDC.

Mr Smith, at what poundage do you leave the trigger? I'm sure you do some trigger work, just curious what you take it to?
Mr. Smith
01-06-14, 13:53
In a fighting gun I will stay around 8.5lbs DA.

Mr Smith, thank you. What is your estimate on what the factory number is? I have an MNP Jframe model 340 and just got a SS 686. My RCBS DIAL stops about 8 lbs. I was told once 12 to 15 lbs but I have no idea.

Thank you.
Mr. Smith

12 would be light 15 is more likely.
