I spent all day Friday working on revolver trigger jobs. I mentioned the S&W J-Frame last week. On Friday the day was spent working on a Taurus Hammerless and a Charter Arms UC Lite. While I have been familiar with Taurus for a long time, I have never owned a Charter, and this was my first time to do a trigger job for one. While they are comparable in price (cheaper than a S&W), the similarities end there. The Charter came to me...
J-Frame Trigger Job
I have been working on a S&W J-Frame for a customer recently and thought I might share some of the insights that you need to consider with trigger work on a J-Frame. These guns are great for pockets, purses and backup carry situations. The one gripe that we here is that the double action is hard to use, especially for women. There are several things that can be done that will make the J-Frame more pleasant to shoot. First, you can...
Ruger SP101 Part 2
I mentioned that the SP101 conversion was finished now and thought you might like to hear some customer comments concerning these modifications: Once again all I can say is wow! Was that my pistol you sent back? The trigger pull and smoothness was incredible you did a perfect job. The bead blast really made the pistol and the polish job on the trigger absolutely made the pistol more pleasurable to fire and looked great. The XS sight was dead...
Ruger SP101 Conversion
We have been waiting for a while to be able to announce the MCC Custom SP 101 package, and we are finally ready to start filling orders. As with all of our most popular packages this one was customer driven. We were asked to take a stock SP 101 and turn it into a custom CCW piece that is also a beautiful piece to add to any collection. We started out with an SP 101 DAO in .357 Magnum. To be sure this has to be one of the best platforms...

I was sitting in the shop the other day watching it rain when one of our customers showed up to give me a box of ammo from a day of shooting we had shared together. It was a very kind gesture, but the next thing he gave me was over and above anything he ever owed me as a customer. He handed me a what looked like a multi-tool. Now I have to admit that I have a small problem with gadgets. . . I get hooked really easily. So you can imagine how...
Sevigny F/O Sights
I had a chance to run a low light drill tonight with Warren Tactical’s Sevigny Fiber Optic Sight. These sights have become very popular for Glocks in the competition circuit. I installed them on a customer’s 17L, and we headed to the range to sight them in before we ran out of time. The sights come with red and green fiber optic rods. The owner of the 17L chose green, and I have to say it would have been my choice as well. As...
