I just sent a 1972 Ruger Security Six back to the factory for repair. It cost about $80 to send it FedEx overnight. If the good folks at Ruger get the gun cooking again, I want to have an over sized trigger stop installed on the back of the trigger to render the gun double action only. I want to KEEP the hammer spur for doing rotation checks, hooking my thumb during reloads and such.
So, I'm going to look for a gunsmith who can install the stop ON THE TRIGGER without me sending the entire pistol. I plan to disassemble the gun and send in JUST the trigger using a standard USPS box--cost $5.00. When the trigger comes back, I'll file the trigger stop down to the proper size so the revolver fires double action, but won't pull all the way back for single action. You could do the same thing by sending just the hammer and having the single action sear ground off.
Other custom work that can be done without sending THE GUN:
I'm sure others have done the same thing, but I haven't seen it discussed here. So, for what it's worth--maybe $75--that's my suggestion.

Other custom work that can be done without sending THE GUN:
- Sights installed by sending just the slide.
- Throat and polish just the barrel.
- Adding coatings to a pistol frame where the "gun" is removable (Sig P250).
- Buying and installing drop in trigger job parts.
- Buying grip tape instead of shipping the frame for checkering.
