Picked up a really good hint at the SIG Academy 25 years ago from Georger Harris who was the #2 guy at the time on Dry Fire..
Dry fire should concentrate on keeping sight alignment, as in the relation of the front and rear sight. Not sight picture as in the relationship of the sights to the target.
Use a plain piece of white paper on a wall and using your best trigger press concentrate on not moving the front blade in relation to the rear notch as the hammer falls.
The reason for this is that when you "aim" at something while dry firing you are concentrating on sight alignment but when the hammer drops your eye switches from the front sight to the target to see if you were on the target when the trigger broke... And you will do this when shooting live fire...your eye jumps back and forth instead of staying on the FRONT SIGHT-FRONT SIGHT-FRONT SIGHT...
The other is Ball and Dummy. Start off with 1-2 rounds in the gun with the rest empty brass. Stay on the front sight through the follow-through. If you aren't seeing the gun recoiling then you are closing your eyes as the hammer drops. I use this all the time when I get "flinchy"...

Freedom Arms of course...
DA wise, S&Ws made from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s have always impressed me with their stand out finish. After 1970 the bluing/polishing was never the same as the earlier guns...

Must have been a bad weekend to sell SAs....the .45 Bisley went for $512 and the really clean .44 for on $715....they usually bring a lot more money than that...
