Bates has this Pocket Navy Uberti that he has been fooling with for quite a few months. He put about a one pound trigger on it by putting a dab of epoxy on the front of the hammer under the full cock notch. We've gotten some good 25 yard groups from it -both from the bench and from one handed . It functioned pretty bad until he opened up the clearances to the right of the hammer cut. By today, he had it working pretty good. When he modifies these things, he just eyeballs an original revolver and tries to match up with it. The thing shot real high until he dovetailed in a taller sight.

He leaned across the bench at 25 yards and did this:
Which I consider pretty good from any of the pocket frame revolvers.
