Default Nelson Ford or Frank Glenn

Looking to get a trigger job done on a model 19.

Both of these gunsmiths have excellent reputations. Which one would you choose and why?

I have a M66 that was worked on by Nelson Ford. He does great work, and I'm very happy with this gun. I've heard that his turn-around time can be somewhat long...that's what often happens with someone whose work is in great demand.

I'm not personally familiar with Frank Glenn's work, so I can't comment on that.

Nelson Ford of Phoenix, AZ is top notch. A couple years ago the turnaround time was 4 weeks and I live 1500 miles from Phoenix, so shipping time was in the 4 weeks. I sent two old 38/44's for repair and they couldn't have been any smoother when new! He is tops in my opinion.

Frank Glenn is the man!!! Havent seen him in years, but I've seen and shot some of his guns. My opinion is he is the best. Dont know Nelson Ford, but I've heard he is also great. Frank I know personally to be the best.
