Thank you. It is fitting in well. Among my ACP revolvers and in my holster.

Do you get a smoother action by converting them to dao, than just slicking up the regular action. I guess less moving parts = smoother shorter stroke?

The conversion to DAO does not result in a shorter stroke than the regular action. The da parts move the same distance as a factory revolver. I routinely dry fire my revolvers. After several thousand dry firings, I can see spots on the various internal parts that show me where friction points are. I very lightly stone those spots to accelerate the wear in time. I also polish the hole in the block where the rebound spring resides. That produces a smoother action. I leave factory springs intact. I do not need a light action, I require a smooth action. Kevin |

I guess I posed my question wrong . I understand slicking up the internals, what I was after was can you not get as good a da trigger on a sa,da trigger group as a dao trigger group? Why remove the single action function?

Why remove the single action function? I had it removed because I do not use single action unless that is my only option. Also, the hammer had been bobbed making if more difficult to use the Single Action feature. Your first question, yes, you can slick up a standard action as good as a DAO action. I could remove the single action sear on all of my S&W revolvers and not miss them. Kevin |

Thank you Kevin, that was the answer I was looking for.

Had this one out the other day. WOW, The action is even smoother than my Davis built PPC revolver! It grouped well with hardball at 15 yards which is as far as I went that day, with the exception of one cylinder at longer ranges. There are various stumps, rocks and such that dot the landscape and provide a chance to stretch the distances a bit.
I also had my S&W Model 22-4 with me. Aside from the action, it is a good companion to the 25-2.

Last Sunday I had the custom Model 25-2 on my hip for a bit. We recently had several, maybe a dozen, truckloads of soil dumped in the driveway. We will use them to fill in some low spots on the property. Included in the soil is a lot of glacial till. Some of the rocks a sized just right for targets. One such sandstone cobble was at the bottom of the pile and caught my attention. It took two shots to split it and the remaining four to reduce the big pieces into little pieces.
Very satisfying!

I spend a whole lot of lead making big rocks into little rocks.
There's a 4 foot boulder on my shooting range that used to be a 6 footer

Recent work on a Brazilian contract 1917. Cut barrel to 4”, Brazilian markings scrubbed, front sight repurposed/serrated, rear sight notch squared up and opened up, BP champher, hand polished and blued. All work done in house  |

All work done in house Nothing wrong with that! It was a shortened Model 1917 that piqued my interest in ACP revolvers. I have made 8-12 of them. I have kept one. But, that was merely the first on many 4” ACP revolvers to come my way. Kevin |

A couple of Sundays ago, I had the customized Model 25-2 on my hip. We had many piles of soil dumped next to our driveway planning to fill in some low spots on the property. In this part of Ohio, we have lots of glacial till, this means along with the soil there are lots of rocks of many sirs. One piece of sandstone caught my eye. About the size of a cantaloupe, it was about 15 yards away when I noticed it. I drew and fired. First shot hit it high, second was nearly the same spot and split it. The next four reduced the big rocks into smaller rocks. All double action, and all effective.
As I mentioned before, if I were still competing, this would be the revolver on my belt.
