It started out as a Model 64-1. It looked like a police trade in that was carried a lot and shot very little. It locked up pretty well before Joe worked on it. Now it's the smoothest cleanest action I've tried and is timed perfectly. I'm a southpaw and sometimes S&W revolvers time fine when the trigger is pulled with a right hand, but not so well with a left. Joe took that into account when he set it up.
Update 12/31/10: Just got back from Joe's, where he did some tweaks to make the gun even better. Just little details, tailored to the way I shoot, to make it even better. He notices things I wouldn't have even detected, but once done make a real difference. I guess that's what sets a pro gunsmith apart from the amateurs. I got to check out some other guns he'd just worked on for other shooters and they were equally nice.
