I had this one made DAO when I had the hammer bobbed, the trigger pull is smoooooooth and about 7lbs. I also had the IL disabled and the charge holes chamfered at the same time. The hammer used to scrape and dig into my arm when I carried it, that's the main reason I had it bobbed. It's a great carry/general use piece, it's my favorite for hiking, fishing, yard and field work, etc.WC145- how do you like the the bobbed hammer? SA it breaks like glass, but the DA still leaves something to be desired esp it being around the $1K mark.
I haven't really paid much attention to the prices since they quit making the NG series, though I know that deals can be found. I picked mine up slightly used and packaged with ammo, holster, speed loaders, etc for just under $600. The gunsmith bill was about $120, so I'm real happy with it for a $700 or so investment.
