Just finished doing mine. Definitely much better being smooth and lightened.

This was actually my first trigger job on a revolver. Was pretty easy and made a big difference.

Good deal. How does it compare to a 1911 job?

Just stones for polishing the surfaces, can also change out springs to improve more, but I just polished with stones.

Yes, I just watched the Midway video on it. Looks simple, but best left to pros IMO.

A revolver is alot more forgiving than a 1911.
The biggest mistake folks make is rounding off edges that are designed to be sharp. The second biggest is removing material, changing the dimensions( and ruining) the part.

I'm sure it's like anything else, a fine line between perfection and completely ruining it.

HAHAHAHA....I hope it got a decent burial( that was a $150 barrel)...lol That's the difference between a file and a stone. That was the very first barrel I tried to fit to a slide......lol

Went out to oneshot's place this morning and let him work on a revolver.

Great work from a great guy. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yep. Ole Oneshot is one of the Good Guys. He and I have been buds for over 40 years. (Dang, I'm gettin' old.)

JL, he spoke of you. The more we talked, the smaller the world got. Seems like we have been running with a lot of the same people over the years.

I really learned a lot and enjoyed my time hanging out and talking with him.
