Our public range requires glasses too.. But I have had to "remind" dozens to put on glasses before shooting after seeing them shoot a full magazine. Some refused and I had to get the "official staff" to come and talk to them.. Why would your risk your eyes???

Yes from what he said it is an early DA revolver.

Very nice...

If you are going to be shooting in the dark or low light get a light/laser combo. Way better/faster for quick accurate shooting. You also need to see what you are about to shoot. Night sights require charging and only glow for a limited time. They are usually thicker than normal sights so...

Nice looking gun...

Have a smith look inside and tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix.. Then decide if it is worth it..

My revolvers are both SS I left out not to do what I do on a blued gun. Good point Pineappleshooter.. Just my luck someone would do that to a blued gun and remove all the bluing...

Nice. Note Early revolvers were mostly all single action and you had to cock the hammer with your thumb. Not sure about your gun though.. Hope someone with more knowledge about that model chimes in.

Emery cloth for the heavy stuff. Then Mothers polish and some polishing to make it like new.. Not something you "have to do" Something I do because I am a bit anal with my toys LOL or so my wife has informed me...

Well after a little filing and sanding and polishing the only sharp edge still bothering me is on on the triggers bottom left corner.. So I need to sand that a bit more. I now have a spring kit coming for it. I will update what that did when I get it installed.

Click and not in life/death situation: 1. wait 30 seconds in case it is a slow burning primer. 2. unload gun 3. check chamber/cylinder to find dead bullet brass/bullet. 4. check barrel to insure no bullet stuck in barrel. 5. if all okay go back to shooting./If you find anything off, stop...

I put the thicker Hogue grips on my Model 60 and it covers the strap the entire length and fits my hand much better. Lasers are great for quick accurate shooting at close range.
