Thanks for the report. I've always wanted to check out the NRA range. Not sure I want to transport from here to there though. I definately want to see the museum. A couple comments:

Try fingernail polish to experiment with contrasts for the front sight of the revolver. It's cheap, reasonably durable, and easy to apply/remove if you don't like it. Your other half may even have a useable color laying around the house somewhere. If you decide you like hi-vis sights then you can check out Brownells for the pro products. FWIW - the simplest trigger job on a Smith revolver is to dry fire it. Lots of times. The smoothest triggers I've seen (that weren't the work of a custom smith) were on older LEO revolvers with years of service. The bluing wears off, the trigger wears in, and the revolver never seems to wear out. (Caveat - beat cop revolvers. Always carried, never used.)

The Brownings almost always have that 1/8" slack in the trigger. It has to do with the design. Once I've fired mine a bit I get used to it again and it doesn't bother me.
