The barrel stays where it should and the revolver shoots tiny groups at 7 yards. Yep, I'm happy - good-to-go.
:thumbs2: Enjoy!

The DA trigger is typical Ruger - the weight is all over the place during the pull - but SA is 4lbs exactly and almost perfectly crisp (I can feel a tiny *snick* feeling just before it fires, so I can actually "stage" it).

Good looking gun! Turned out nice!
Well, without pics I may as well have shot the groups for you! :lol: Just kidding!
Is that Garland?

Ha ha! I moved to the Temple area about 15yrs ago, but I still remember that dirty beige/puke yellow colored carpet on the benches!! :lol: Good memories from Garland!

I had missed the completion posts. I was originally cringing at this build but must admit, I like the finished product. Very unique handgun you have there. Nice job on it. :tiphat:
