APW for sure. Great people, too.
-
That's how about 90% of my discussions end, too.

I use a .125 front and a .145-.155 rear.

The Springfield TRP series are excellent for the money.

Outstanding! Congrats.
Does she have a sister?

I've got the standard serrated adj. rear and FO front sights. They work great except when shooting at dark targets - I struggle to get the front post dead center of my sight picture when I can't see any light through the side gaps.
Considering an SVI FO rear - https://infinity.americommerce.com/p/127-Infinity-Illuminated-Competition-Rear-Sight.aspx It seems like would make it easier to line up the sights on a black target.
What are the gotchas I'm not thinking of? There's gotta be a reason almost no one uses these sights. This is primarily for 3-gun and limited.
If the front sight is .125, you could try opening the rear sight notch to .140-150 and leave the rear sight black.
Eyes can only focus on one object at a time. The "3-dot" sights are just BS marketing. With multiple "dots", the eyes shift focus from dot to dot, front to rear, and you aren't really focusing on anything.
Also, a dedicated pair of prescription shooting glasses would certainly help.
Don Nygord and Dr.Norman Wong wrote some great articles on vision for the shooting sports.

The age old question of “Do I dump money into polishing a turd or not”. The appropriate age old response of “Buy once, Cry once” applies.
Agreed. The same goes for optics and mounts.
Once you dump $$ into something, you're married to it.

The TWB products work great, too. https://mil-comm.com/tw25b/

Nice velocity spread. Wow.

Mark did some absolutely perfect work on my 686 and my 610.
Great communication, fast turn-around.
He's genuinely concerned with customer satisfaction.

I would skip the Chinese "precision" tools. CDI is Snap-On's consumer-available line. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for when it comes to tools.
I got mine a few years ago for $150.00. Worth every penny. And if you drop it, you can get it re-calibrated if necessary.

I've bought much from them. Great company, great people.
When I need revolver stuff, I check with them first.

The round trigger guard and safety kill it for me. I say Shadow 2. Or if you're set on a $2,000 gun, the Shadow 2 Orange.
I don't mind the trigger guard. I'm assuming I can change out the safety.
The forged frame/slide appeal to me. I just want the most accurate piece. The price is not a deal-breaker.

Buy your wife what she wants first then buy both. If she complains, tell her the item you bought for her is more expensive than what you bought.
Works all the time lol
I'll get the short end on that. She wants a Jaguar F-Type convertible.

Are you guys trying to get me divorced?
I was about to pull the trigger on a Shadow 2, then the A01 LD comes out.
Now my head hurts trying to decide.

Thanks for the info, Gentlemen.

There is a sticky on www.bullseyeforum.net about .38 Wadcutters. It's in the Ammunition section.

Good luck, probably cheaper to have the work done to a 6.5" barrel.
What kind of prices were you getting and for how extensive of a job ?
I ask since Scott of SDM used to do an almost factory looking job compared to my home version of cut it off an inch or so with a hacksaw
and square it up a bit and crown the end with my cylinder chamfer tool
About $350.00-$400.00.
Weigand doesn't make their interchangeable front sight system anymore.
SDM no longer accepts gunsmithing work.
Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Well, I'm picking up my new 610 this week. I wound up getting the 6.5" barrel.
I had originally planned to have the barrel cut to 5", but the quotes I got for the machining work and adding the front sight were a bit steep. It would be alot cheaper just to source a 5" barrel.
So, I'm on the hunt for that 5-incher.

What exactly are the NRA trigger weights, and their intended reason for it?
They are actual steel weights like the ones used on measuring scales.
They're used to measure the amount of force it takes to get the hammer to drop.
For example,my .45's will pick up 3.5 lbs. but not 4 lbs.
-
I use the Official NRA trigger weights.

Worth every penny. I have one for .45ACP, 9mm,(7-shot), and .38,(both 7 and 8 shot).
I still have the one for my old 646. I no longer have the gun,though.

A long time ago, I owned a 5" 610. That is, by the way, a much better barrel length than the 4" (short radius too short) or 6.5" (muzzle too heavy). I had no real use for it, and it was worth quite a bit of money, so it went down the road. Too bad S&W doesn't bring back the 610 in that barrel length.
I was planning on getting a 6.5" and having it cut to 5".
How much does the 10x cajun bushing improve accuracy in the shadow 2?

Wise man.
If you can't get ahold of a RR, you could try sandbags at 25 yards. Take your time and try to make sure the gun is in the same spot for every shot. It's not perfect, but sometimes you have to go with what you've got.
You may want to start with a known load as a baseline, ( Atlanta Arms match ammo) for example.
Tons of knowledge here, just have to ask.
