 I don't see many SA Champions and ran across one priced well NIB. I'd like a beavertail and the sights need to be replaced at a minimum. I'm not crazy about the ILS system either. I'm debating sending it off for a tuning package also. I'd like to turn it into a reliable comfortable to shoot, carry pistol. Any advice or feedback on smiths? Thanks |

Try Springfield for some smith work. Nice looking handgun by the way.

+1 for the Smith and Alexander beavertail. Figure about $60 for the beavertail, fitting jig, and some Oxpho Blue to touch up the tangs.
The beavertail will require a commander style hammer. This Smith and Wesson part is IDENTICAL to that sold by Wilson for 3X the price: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=532745 As far as mainspring housing, I'm a big fan of this Smith & Wesson part, as it comes complete with all of the internals for $12.99: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=127124 |
I have it's twin.
I picked it up used about a year ago and love it. I'd start by sending it to either novaks or SA for some better sights. Other than that, I like mine so much I made it my main carry gun. It hasn't chocked yet on 230 gr ball or 185 hp's. *the idiot scratch was on it when I got it. |
