With a little more weight in the gun, you can increase the weight of the projectile without running the risk of jumping crimp and tying up the cylinder.
I put a big dot sight on mine, too.

Better grips would also help with the slap, but I haven't done anything about that yet.

DC, that looks great with the steel cylinder!
I've got the 242 and won't be changing the cylinder (.38s aren't that bad even in this light a gun), but the grips have to go. Probably be looking for a set of magnas, myself.
Question: did you do the BigDot yourself? That's probably the #1 change I want to make on my 242, since the black blade is almost invisible to me. Which dot is the right one?
Thanks in advance!
