No more new revolvers for me. I'm sticking to the old stuff.
Not that I want to drift the thread further away, but are there non- MIM hammers and triggers available from someone? I have seen a trigger in Brownell's, but no hammers so far. My 21's hole is permanently plugged. And my sight looks like it's off to the left... but I do think that this one is bent or the slot is not milled perfectly straight. This is a project gun for me (I'm "oldifying" it as best I can). I dry fired it last night.... it makes a high pitch "chink, chink". Egad, what a cheesy sound! I then picked up a 27-2, which makes a much more satisfying solid "CLACK"
