Default 629 Classic DX

I have a Classic DX that I've just begun to shoot and am interested in the history of the DX variation. My old Gil Hebard catelog mentions, in addition to the extra grips and sights, a "competition grade accuracy job". Since the DX retailed for $190 more than the standard 629 I'm wondering exactly what work that accuracy job might have entailed. Or were all 629's test fired and the most accurate ones set aside and given the DX logo? Hebard also mentionned a test target and standard of 1" at 2 yards. The only response I got on another forum mentionned 1.5 inches at 50 yards but no one seemed to know about what the accuracy job actually was. Made me think it was time to introduce myself to you folks. Any info greatly appreciated.
Happy Trails,
Rob
