My Brazilian contract revolver sure wouldn't win any beauty contests, but is a nice shooting, accurate gun, and I wish my other N-frame had a trigger that nice. When I got it the trigger was rough and the accuracy not good. The side plate came off, and I scrubbed gobs of brown sludge out of the action. When I quit getting the crap, I went to work on the barrel. A standard bronze bristle brush didn't do much. To look at, the thing was a smoothbore! I got hold of a stainless steel brush in .45, and scrubbed the barrel with Hoppes. Lots of black crap was brushed and patched out, and when It acted clean, there was actually some rifling in there....not very deep, but rifling. It will now shoot very well and accurately indeed. The timing needs some work, and maybe one of these days I'll look up a good Smith smith and get that done, too.
