A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

Apex seems to have an excellent reputation and some interesting ideas. E.g., the highly recommended apex barrel has 10 lands and grooves (!?):


Or the use of a lighter cylinder to reduce DA pull and momentum:


And here Randy Lee of Apex gives a rundown on the affect of a lighter hammer on DA pull. He's gotten it down to 2lbs 14oz w/ carefully seated federal primers! :

Looks awesome. I'm going to try that out on some bobbed hammers I have.
