Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key custom modifications on this Smith & Wesson 60-7?

This custom Smith & Wesson 60-7 features an 11-degree muzzle crown, a dovetailed tritium front sight, custom Cerakote on the cylinder and grips, a bobbed hammer, and internal Apex springs. The presenter also notes the appeal of pre-lock S&W revolvers.

Why are pre-lock Smith & Wesson revolvers recommended?

Pre-lock Smith & Wesson revolvers are recommended for their collectability and aesthetic appeal. Many enthusiasts prefer them without the integrated lock mechanism, viewing it as a detraction from the firearm's classic design and potentially impacting its value.

What is the purpose of an 11-degree crown on a firearm barrel?

An 11-degree crown on a firearm's muzzle is a gunsmithing technique that can improve accuracy. It is believed to provide a more consistent release of the bullet from the barrel, potentially enhancing stability and reducing flyers.

What are the benefits of a bobbed hammer on a revolver?

Bobbing the hammer on a revolver removes the external spur, which can facilitate quicker draws by preventing snagging on clothing or holsters. It also offers a sleeker profile while still allowing for manual cocking if the user desires.
