    Can cylinders be smoothed...

    Yes Polishing chambers is a relatively easy thing to do. Just match the lapping compound and polishing brush (looks like a valve brush) to how rough your chambers are. Look in brownelles

    my pre 27

    love 5" smiths I love 5" 5 screw smiths. i have both the 27 and 29 in this platform. Oddly enough the 27 took me the longest to find. Now get a El Paso Saddlery Tom Threepersons holster and you are ready to go. I recommend the hammer thong over the snap strap.

    Muzzle Flash and night sights

    No To answer your question, no muzzel flash will not bother your eyes enough to block out NS. I have 1 pistol w/night sights and I shot it when it was pitch black outside to see how I could do with it. Answer, not well, but I could see the sights just not the target. I think night sights are...

    7.62x25 in a new gun? Would you buy it?

    I built a Commander in 7.62x25 Partly just to do it and partly because colt made a few. I used a pre series commander frame with a clw prefix (it was either 9 or super, never bothered to check) and a commander 38 super slide. i made the barrel from either 3006 or 308 remington barrel I had...
