I'm not opposed to bobbed hammers but really haven't seen the need. I've been carrying revolvers aiwb for the past year and 1911s for years and never snagged on the draw. Even if I had I'd either tear my shirt or push the gun out.

Pocket guns sure.

Yes, but it looks right on such a pistol and the hammer is a needless appendage if it is never cocked for single action shooting.

I did it once before, long ago.

The single action sear was cut off as well.

I always check function by cocking the holster slightly then rotating the cylinder before I holster.

Checks for high primers or cases that didn't seat.

I also might want to take a head shot on a grouse.

I've gotten to where I shoot the same in single or double action modes...so I've completely stopped using the former.

On your ammo check I prefer to do that before the cylinder is closed.

I actually shot the arfcom 25moa challenge DA with the 66 but still prefer SA for tiny targets. That being said. I have shot so much double action in the last year I may try to stay DA this fall/winter in the woods and go from there.

Man that would be a tough call, and I've only had the Model 60 for about 3 days lol. I think the model 60 feels a little easier to shoot recoil wise. The SP101 will handle hotter magnum loads though, so I guess it's up to you and what you're primary intent is with it. Either one is a great choice and I don't think you could go wrong if you chose either one. Although I like shooting the Model 60 more, if you told me I could only keep one of the two it would be the SP101. The way that thing is built it will be around long after my grandkids are gone.

Thanks man. Sounds like I can’t go wrong between the two. Do you think the SP101 is any less accurate due to the lack of a decent rear sight?

My only serious revolver. A Smith Model 28 Highway Patrolman .357 Magnum. Serial search puts it at 40 years old, manufactured in 1979. I picked it up from a LGS about a month ago.

It came to me with these gawdawful laminate grips:

I passed it by in the store several times because of those grips before the siren song finally got the better of me. I've since replaced them with these equally ugly but much more functional Houges:

Just the usual. Theres not a lot of snakes around here to worry about and even if there was; at the distance I would be concerned enough about them I'd just as soon have my normal load

That looks pretty darn nice! If you have the energy to do a bit of a 'range trip show and tell' on that piece, I bet I'm not the only one who would enjoy it!

Only put a box through so far with no issues. Fun project and beater gun for me.

Is that an actual parkerization job or did you just spray it or what? Was that a buds gun?

I'm waiting for a holster for the 66-8. I accidentally had it sent to the ex's residence...who sent it back to Turkey

I'm not sure I can wait two months to get it. I may just order a 3" K frame Desantis.

The Turkish guy's handle is "tickdong," which is a bit weird, but I like how the holster secures over the grip, rather than the non existent hammer spur.
