I spent all day Sunday taking a snubby revolver class using a M64-2 2inch that I picked up here on this Forum. The M64 shot great but I did wind up shedding some blood due to some sharp spots that I would like to smooth out. Before I get out the Dremel and some Cratex bits, I figured I better get some advice.
Sharp Point#1. The cylinder latch thumb piece has a tendency to chew on my strong hand thumb. I believe the thumb piece is solid stainless so I am fairly confident that I can smooth off those offending sharp spots without any real issues. Has anyone else had this issue and have any suggestions or tips?
Sharp Point #2. This M64-2 has a narrow serrated trigger (the only S&W revolver I own that has this trigger). After a short number of drills I had already gone past the blister point to the bleeding point. The offending hot spot is on the bottom of the trigger finger where it contacts the bottom of the trigger bow. Am I correct in assuming this trigger is NOT stainless but flash chromed tool steel? Is it possible to polish/meld the serrations at the bottom of the trigger without going through the flash chrome? I am not talking about completely removing the serrations, I just want to try and take the bite out of the bottom edge of the trigger. (At least I hope that would take care of the issue.)
Once again I would most likely just be using Cratex bits, no files or grinding bits.
Would I be better off trying to find a smooth trigger and then find someone to install/fit it for me? Numrich has new M64 stripped smooth triggers in stock but I assume the individual parts from my trigger would need to be transferred into the new trigger and there is likely to be fitting involved?
