I did think about using all caps...

I was considering a poll thread with refinishing options, but it looks like the consensus is to fix the mechanicals and park it, which is the way I was leaning. It's a functional, big bad S&W N-Frame, easy to shoot and not for lookin' pretty. As mentioned I'm an old-timey PPC shooter and am perfectly comfortable shooting DA all the time, but it would be nice to have the SA for those 100+ long shots, just for showing off!

The loop and screw from the Hogue set-up might work with a fabricated stirrup, but then I'd have to either cut up the Herretts or get some new grips. Also, as beat as this thing is, I don't like how the Hogue setup works, screwing down against the bottom of the grip frame and possibly marring the serial number. Think I'll let my Victory satisfy my loop cravings.
