Need recommendation for S&W revolver work

[LSP972]

There is the risk of the lower hammer mass not having enough inertia to pop primers, but as long as the hammer spring is strong, this isn't an issue.

ONLY if the mainspring has been clipped multiple coils. Lower hammer mass is a major issue with Colt actions; it's a practically non-existent issue with S&W's.

Were it mine, I would have my FLG bob the hammer - I have seen one he did for another customer, so I know he can drive a hacksaw, file, and Foredom - and not worry about the single action notch. If you don't try to cock it like John Henry Fitzgerald, it won't slip, will it?

I heard for somewhere at some point that removing the single action notch helps make the trigger pull smoother. Though for all I know that's BS

If it is done very very right, it can make a small improvement of value to an Expert shooter.
Just not anything I would bother with on a hideout gun.

It may be the Colt issue I was remembering. It has never been an issue on my S&Ws, but I don't use reduced power mainsprings.

I'd like to know how Clark Customs is doing now to. They're close enough to me I could drive mine over there.

I may be late to the game in this thread, but Clark did a great trigger job on my model 66 and added a green fiber front. Fair price, good communication, and relatively quick turnaround time.

Yep, you're right. I've been thinking of contacting them to overhaul my well used 686

Joe does very nice work on wheelguns. If you have a lever action rifle, he can also turn it into something special.

I've seen photos of some of his work. It's simply amazing
