I'm with Jimmy, although I don't have the advantage of gun in hand. But from I can see in pics I'd mess with #2 before I'd take #3 any further. I just lucked into the Brazilian which was very nicely refinished but had suffered some serious rustification and had serious pitting under the stocks. I considered it a prime candidate for messing around with. I talked with a gunsmith friend of mine about what I'd like done and actually paid him more to shorten the barrel to 4", install a Baughman style front sight, open up the forcing cone and square away any wobble in the yoke, adjust end play and reblue the barrel
