I HATE that they've closed up Shop--I recently had Shannon "Tune Up" a Snubby Model 64 & a Model 640; Both are much-improved. Last time I talked with him, he was planning to go back to Knoxville & work at Wood Bros Sporting Arms & Repair--They're as close as your closest UPS or FedEx location...
Yeah, it's not "The Draw" that puts me off of J-Frames with exposed Hammers, it's the TEMPTATION to "Thumb-Cock" the darned thing when I KNOW I shoot them better DA...
Nice Airweight Chief's Special you have there. If it were a Centennial I'd be on it like "White on Rice", but I just can't bring myself to CC a Revolver with an exposed Hammer--YMMV, of course--GLWS
