DIY Revolver Modifications

Revolvers are great weapons for self-defense. They come in a variety of sizes, are generally more accurate than we can shoot them, plus, they’re available in effective Magnum rounds. A well-maintained revolver is more reliable than a semi-auto. If you don’t provide the resistance required for...

the most i have ever done to any revolver i have is change out the stocks (grips)
 
After owning and shooting many older Smith and Wesson revolvers with really smooth triggers, I had to change out the springs in my Ruger SP101 in an attempt to replicate the fine S & W action. It helped some, but shooting it a lot will help smooth the trigger pull even more. Problem is I'm not sure there's enough ammo availible to reach that goal.

yeah, i shoot my revolvers in "rotation" to all my other guns. my Korth 357/.38 special is hand fitted, so it is tight, even the wheel does not spin as fast as my Python or 686+

but of late, it has been "loosening up", so yeah, shooting it more is helping, and thankfully now, i have enough brass to start reloading 38 specials.
 
Many many moons ago, I took my S&W 629 and made a competition revolver out of it using my .44 special reloads, replace all the springs, recut the forcing cone, and did a trigger job, shot it for years at my local club when they did matches, just found out there starting them up again after 25 years, S&W revolvers are probably the easiest to work on in my opinion
 
I put a spring kit in my model 36 but by far the best thing I ever did was to install a set of Pachmayr Diamond Pro grips on my performance center 642. They worked so well that I bought another set for the model 36.

The PC 642 , at 14.6 OZ , was a hand full even though it was only 5 OZ less than the model 36. They were worth the money.

I used orange model car paint on all my revolvers that has just the plain black front sight, think it was Testors paint

the reason why i do not use red or orange, is that i have an "issue" with my eye, that the 2 colors are actually "grayed" when i view them.

a "few" other colors (but not all) of the spectrum, give me issues as well.

even the "red bullseye" on all targets is actually "grayish" to me.

as a result, white works best for me, against that "grayish" bullseye.
