BEAUTIFUL weapons, Centurian 77. Did you do the work yourself ? That level of workmanship amazes me, as I have to try hard to not bugger a screw. Do the large ports bleed off any velocity ?...........one eye joe

All work was done by Gemini Customs. The Hybra-ports offer a 50% reduction in muzzle flip but only a 30-40FPS drop in velocity. Remember revolvers already have to "jump the gap" so to speak so the porting doesn't affect them that much.

The 686-4 is hybra-ported, features an extended extractor rod which was chromed by Tripp Research, double ball bearing lock up, Bowen rear sight, custom front sight featuring a QD style blade, re-contour of barrel, action job, beveling, moonclip, new springs, and re-contoured Nille Griffe stocks.

The 60-9 is hybraported, features action job, polished hammer/trigger, beveled, moonclipped, new springs, and Hogue stocks I think, can't remember.
