The reset is even shorter than my other 3rd gens. Doesn't feel like 8lbs maybe because I used a wider trigger. Used a 439 mag release nut, and slim slide release. Haven't shot it yet since I just finished it today.
Did the polishing techniques from the 3rd gen youtube videos and the pulls in both single and double are smooth and seem to break clean.
Will load up 2 or 3rds in case I screwed something up and it goes full auto which I highly unlikely see doing.

Did you ever take the S&W armorers course? I have watched many videos on YouTube and some are very detailed, but taking down a frame is something I haven’t had the nerve to try yet.
As for keeping 3rd gen guns, I agree. I’ve owned probably 20 over the years. I’m left with 5. 2 5946’s, a 5903, 5906, and 4566. They’re never gonna go for less than what I paid for them so they’re staying forever.
