  1. Ok, is not the only way, but after you do all the possible trigger jobs, finally set the strainscrew it's another chance to go more down in DA weight. If you use revo in competition, not for defense.

    I spent a lot of money to buy federal primers..if I don't set strainscrew, there's non reason to buy it and I shoot CCI with 7 Lb DA.

    Anyway now, is 100% reliable with 5,5 Lb.

  2. Use 686, better choice series 5 or 6, in this condition you can find easy an extended firing pin (new style) and install

    a good rear competitive sight and a front sight..

    In the series 1-2-3-4 you don't replace the sights in easy and cheap way.

    The open latch new style is much more reliable for speed reload, I notice there is some series 4 with the old open latch style and some with the new. (first round butt gripp, but again with grooves on the backstrap).

    probabily when S&W made the series 4 definitely finish the stock of old open latch.

    At the end, if i remember the extractore star new style (asimmetric) is from series 4 to actually.

    Series 1-2-3 old style extractor star with the 2 hole of alignment is a difficult replace part to find.

    For me the best choice is find a series 5 in good condition.

  3. Yes, check if you have endshake and remove it with a bearings or give your revo to some good gunsmith to doing the job of

    stretching the crane.

    Loctite blue is good to stop strainscrew.

    Heat, my opinion influences only..if you set the strainscrew at limits to fire a Federal primer (for example)

    in a hot summer day..it's possible when the temperature go down, make a missfire because the primer it's slightly harder on surface.

  4. L frame + 38 special = most better control

    If your desire it's shooting 357 full loads*, it's another way of play.

    * have no sense reload a 357 brass with 38 power, only slower on reloads.

    On tipycal shooting distances (Idpa, Icore) not affect the accuracy.

  5. In the page of Robert Perdue on 4wheelgun.com i read this about the pic

    "The trigger is tapped and packed with epoxy. Tapping the trigger helps retain the epoxy."

    I think this extra modified is for fast release the cartridge, but is necessary?

    I see on time my frind with some Bubberizzed Saf III, with a screw with round head insert in the trigger hole..

    I think this metal part can worn the central closing pin in center of extractor.

  6. Weel..I made a pic (like everytime i write on the forum :roflol:)

    I have some shorted 357 brassed, cut to 38 Long Colt use by one Italian revolver shooter.

    On left standard 357, after a 38 special and on the right shorted to 1,000 ", I misured the brass now with caliper

    Is not long like a short Colt but he shoot it good and make fast reload.

    He do it probabily to reduce the freebore of a short Colt? Maybe it's the best compromise?

    Good night! here it's midnight :yawn:
