Bosshoss

RIP to one of the good guys. You will be missed.

Smith used to sell 627-4 cylinders that were factory 38 Super. I put one in my 929 and have a spare new one laying around. The factory 38 super cylinders are the same length as 929 cylinders Don't know if they still have in stock or not.

I rarely if ever use hammer shims on a MIM gun, they are not needed. Forged part guns are another story as I said before The specs are all over the place and they sometimes need shims to keep things in place.

Sorry but will have to say this is so far off that I thought I was on the S&W forum for a while. The old forged part guns are a pain to work on as the specs are all over the place and them never having issues is hilarious as they had just as many issues as the newer guns including canted barrel that were then pinned canted. MIM parts are heat treated to the same depth as the forged part guns and the parts are much more consistence and will last just as long as forged parts. S&W had some bad MIM when they first started using it but got the process figured out and now it if good to go.

Hammer and trigger are OK it just needs a new sear fitted. Sear is the black piece fitted to the hammer that starts the hammer moving back.

Possible that the sear is too short. The sear starts everything moving and then hands off the movement to the hammer for the last part of the stroke. If the sear is too short the trigger bumps into the hammer on the hand off. If it is really short it will stop the movement. If it is close it will have a hard spot and then will slip past the hammer. Might try dryfiring with cylinder open and cylinder release held back. If it still does it then it is something in the action. If it goes away with the cylinder open it is in the timing(ratchet's)

where is the live stream going to be?

Sorry but this is way off. I usually have about 2 hours longer in a full competition action job for a forged part gun than a MIM gun. I charge the same for both and I usually grimace when a forged part gun come in because I know I have to do extra work just getting the forged parts straighten out just to start a trigger job. MIM parts are much more consistent than the old forged part guns. I should charge more for a forged part gun but fortunately most competition guns coming in these days are newer guns with MIM parts.

A couple clubs local to me only runs SC and doesn't even have USPSA matches. I have heard of other clubs that do this also.

FYI the attached picture is if a 617 K frame laying on top of a 929 N frame. It is hard to get a picture that shows it but the triggers are lined up and if you looked at the grip frames from directly above they are also lined up. The trigger travel is the same on a K-L-N-X frame and it doesn't matter if it is a 5-6-7-8-9-10 shot gun the trigger travel is the same. The guns might feel different due to weight and barrel configuration but the grip to trigger relationship is controlled by the grips. The same grips on a K frame and L frame and N frame will feel the same and have the same trigger reach and trigger travel.

What are you trying to say here? What does it being a N frame have to do with short stroking it?

I don't know for sure but I read that the 2.01 was with a autoloader and the 1.88 was the revolver run????????

I would replace the Cylinder stop the same time you fix the peening of the cylinder. The cylinder stop takes a beating in these guns shot fast. When a gun comes in the shop for skipping it can be peening like you have and/or a worn out cylinder stop. The ball that engages the slots in the cylinder will show wear and be tapered at the top instead of square when new.
