A few hundred rounds through my 940-3, and extremely happy, This will definitely be in the carry rotation as soon as I figure out a holster or two.
I am new to revolvers, and coming off a lifetime of SA/DAs and striker semi-autos, thought the out-of-box trigger was... not bad. Even better after a few days of spare time/muted conference call dry firing against snap caps and a mid-cycle deep-clean of the light oil that it came with and a re-lube. I had thought about getting a spring kit, but at this point, am pretty happy with the factory weight.
Sights were one of the things that kept me away from the thought of buying a snubbie, but these are fantastic for the purpose, with the black u-notch rear showing the perfect amount of light and the nice and bright tritium front. Within 100 rounds, I was able to get fist-sized 10m groups slow fire with ammo that has 100% function (S&B 115 grain JHP and 100 grain SCHP), and know the rest is practice.
Something that strikes me as odd is that while everything but +P drops free (and that only needs a light tap), I am getting ignition failures with stuff that functions perfectly out of everything else that I own, including Norma MHP, Gold Dot +P, and various FMJ Fiocchi rounds. All have what look like well-struck primers and almost all fire on second strike. Not particularly concerned since I have carry rounds that work well, but it seems like opposite-world to have this happen with a revolver and not my semis. Is this common, and is there any fix? I saw that TK has an extended firing pin for other J-frames, but it does not look like anyone makes one for the 940.
Grips felt great... until I started shooting. The sharp edge at the trigger guard (pic below) starts tearing up my middle finger after 20 rounds.; combined with the huge gap, I'm not sure what VZ was thinking. I think that a little more space between the backstrap and the trigger would be helpful anyway, and am looking at options with that coverage. Are the grips that come on the Lipsey's this bad? Have not seen other complaints, so maybe it's just me.
BTW, second post on the forum, and really appreciate the knowledge and expertise being shared here. Trying to restrain myself, but already looking at alloy J-frames to add to the stable--probably just a matter of time.
