From my understanding, they did make like... 2 of those.
I have seen one for sale, and it was so expensive as to be just a curio. I wish they would bring back the Night Guards. It would be a lot easier to put a red dot on a pre-drilled gun like that. |

Saw the new RIA imported Czech 9x19mm revolver today. Looks pretty nice, didn't get to try the trigger.

If I edited the post above it's more than likely because I suck at typing. If I didn't, I was either in too big of a hurry or just missed it.

Ive had made Im not too worried about it. The gun is terrific by all other metrics (except the factory grips). I suspect this is a doable fix. Its odd to me that there is rifling after the comp. that part has me scratching my head and may be an issue, but that seems like it's on these guns and I haven't heard of this at all.

When I was shooting the 38s were making some big ol' holes at that point, and because I'm dumb I just thought it was awesome. Got to the target and flattened the paper back out only to see that bullets-going-sideways stamp. I'll admit, I felt WAY better about my poor shooting. Ok groups if you don't count the keyholes |

Just as follow up regarding the 19 carry comp.
I talked to S&W this morning and they said it's an ammo issue. Only to be used with domestically produced ammunition. The group pictured was Magtech LRN. |

You can get all the parts- hammer/trigger & grip frame between Midway & Brownells. The grip frame will need to be filed to fit, they come in stainless and steel in the white. The castings are rough sometimes. If you’re handy you could likely do it and not ef’ it up. I had my local gunsmith fit it because I wanted it polished.
Gunsmithing $180 Parts. $160 So about a $300 plus job, or less if you fit and finish. Ruger Blackhawks are easy to work on (thank you tube), this was my 3rd conversion, it came with the power custom hammer/trigger. I’d go with the stock Bisley hammer trigger, they are way cheaper. |
