19-3 PPC revolver came home: any tips?

[RetCapt]

Good to see these guns showing up and being appreciated. Hollow Base 148 grain wadcutters with 2,7 grains of Bullseye and later 3.1 grains of W231 as I recall. (verify before you load) Generally dead on hold at 7, 15 and 25 yards and base of neck hold at 50 yards. Of course all double-action. Some like me were set up so the tip of the shooting finger contacted the frame before the hammer dropped so you could cycle the action and than squeeze off the last bit with the finger-tip supported so it was just about like single-action.

I also used the technique of using the tip of my trigger finger to contact the frame just as the DA shot was about to break. I found that Rogers grips worked best for me for DA shooting the entire course. (Hogue was second). I have fairly large hands, but short fingers, so the uncovered backstrap was what I needed.

On barrels, the gunsmith who did mine for me, Greg Roberts, preferred Atkinson for stainless. On all blue guns, he would go with Douglas. I don't recall the reasons for his preferences.
