Ordered all the parts, got an OM hammer for $49.00 and the seller threw in a trigger. Happily surprised. Waiting for the other parts to arrive. Stupid question time - Other than the hammer and cylinder bolt spring, is anything else really needed to purchase to make the change? The "safety...

For CA'a "not unsafe roster" some handguns carry an A - either on the SKU or gun itself. Smith does the same. Whatever the gun is without the A it's likely the same. But you know, an aluminum SP101 is a pretty good idea.

Thanks. Will likely get a OM trigger. Just noticed this one has tons of side to side wiggle. I don't expect rock solid but this is way more than my others with OM.

Thanks very much all. Excellent website - Classic Firearms LLC, hadn't thought of them. I've used the same base pin on previous conversions back. FWIW, did a close look of the end and it looks like there's a threaded cap that can be unscrewed, spring & plunger lifted out.

Just picked up a Flat Top in 357 Magnum, unfortunately it was converted. I've gotten hammer, cylinder bolt and spring. Pretty sure I'm correct in that the converted trigger can be used when the dogleg is clipped. Any suggestions on where I can track down a hand, or anything "cross fits"...

True. I use a six o clock hold with a fair amount of daylight, that helps.

I use an adjustable rear sight from Magnum Research. Costs a grand total of $27.00 and IIRC shipping was free, or pretty cheap. Pretty sure I had to dress down the underside of the sight to ensure the hammer didn't rub on the down stroke when the sight was fully cranked down.

I really wasn't a fan of the 327 nor of the birds head grip. This one kind of changed my mind -

I've decided to live with the factory trigger. It's not especially curved so not a big deal. Not sure what I did to accomplish it, but the pull on the compact feels better than the full size. Probably a bit better smoothing out of parts by me this time around. I found a 9mm slide and barrel...

I have a Remington 700 in 5.56 that I dropped off at Pacific Tool & Gauge in southern OR (I have a place in Grants Pass) a few years back. They sell metal lower that accepts AR magazines. They milled the underside of the rails so the mag would sit up high enough to be picked up by the bolt...

The SR9C slide and barrel drop on to the 40 frame perfectly. Uses the same recoil spring assembly, but for $8.00 ordered a separate one. The 9mm barrel drops in and functions fine (snap caps) with the 40 slide. But I figure for the few $$$ more and that it's nice looking stainless, got the...
