Model 10 Project

Great idea. I wonder if D&L’s rear sight would work too

I bet it would.

Lon, who do you plan to use to do the work? I used to have a couple go-to guys in the Dayton area, but they've died or quit.

I hate to cough up the $$$ for overnight shipping to far-flung pistolsmiths.

I shoot USPSA with a gunsmith down by the west Chester area. He and I talked about it a while ago and he said he could do it. I’m gonna check back with him to make sure he still can. He does great 1911/2011 work and has worked on Bianchi Cup wheelguns before so I’m hopeful he can do it. I’ll keep ya updated.

I dig revolver projects, so rock on, but apart from uniquely regulated sights, I'm not sure what all the work gets you. Still a 2" K-frame. Is a round butt preferred? If not (or not essential), I'd save the coin and be patient for a good shooter Model 15 snubby -- you can still regulate the front sight and the frame won't have to be milled for the fixed rear sight.

Whatever you do, if I were in Ohio in need of custom 'smithing, Andy Horvath would be the one.
