Just finished installing the Bisley Hammer/ Blackhawk trigger kit and free spin pawl from Power Custom. I also got a Belt Mountain base pin from Brownells. (Power Custom now carries the Belt Mountain pins, I justed missed them by a few days).
I'd say all the above parts are well worth the money. The combination of the free wheeling pawl when the gate is open and the half-cock notch where the cylinders line up with the ejector makes loading and unloading considerably easier.
The action is smooth, lockup is rock solid and I think the trigger pull is almost too light with the wolf spring. The instructions from Power Custom, which are very good in general, give some tips on "heavying" the spring if you so desire.
During installation there is only one time when modification is definately required and that is to clearance the transfer bar so the loading gate can open at half cock. There's a diagram that shows how much to take off. I used a dremel.
The pawl may drop in, but I had to remove a little metal to allow it to come to full cock. lacking an appropriate file I used my diamond knife sharpener, worked great.
Anyway I just wanted to report how happy I was was these parts, this is how this gun should have come from the factory.
Funny story: The first time I put the gun all the way back together to check the function of the new parts the little spring that operates the cylinder lock was out of place, but I didn't notice this.
I opened the loading gate and spun the cylinder... in both directions... cool!
I moved to half cock (cool) opened the loading gate ( whew wasn't sure that was going to work) spun the cylinder clickclickclickclick (so far so good).
I closed the gate and lowered the hammer. Then pulled the hammer back to full cock fast... and was left holding a fully cocked ruger vaquero with a rapidly spinning cylinder (not good)
Didn't take too long to track down the problem though
