Haven't had much interesting to post for some time, but just finished a project that was right on target for this group.
I've been a fan of Jim Cirillo's approach to combat handgunning for time and wife and I wanted to upgrade our double-action skills. I had an abused 38 Target Masterpiece with a ringed barrel and poor finish that wouldn't shoot a group. Sent it off to be rebarreled with a good barrel from same era, refinished it with Cerakote, and had him re-work the internals to make it as close to a perfect DA as humanly possible. Got pictures of the finished gun last night (minus the holly target grips I'll put on it when it gets home).
This will primarily be wife's range gun with HBWCs, but house gun, too, with 135gr GD's. If I'm nice, I hope she'll let me learn to shoot it a la Cirillo with 158gr LSWCHP FBI loads.
