First thing -- get that trigger smoothed out and whatever else floats your boat:

Next, the Rusty Sherrick holster of your choice (his field holsters are tops):

Other things:

Millett sights or Ruger baby-blue front sight insert;

HKS Speedloaders (same one as for S&W 625; Colt Anaconda);

aftermarket grips for heavy loads:
(especially like the Pachmayer Decelerator):

OWN FOUR

All wear Pachmayr Decelerator grips; perfect for MY medium-small hand and gripping style.

Three wear Millett orange-ramp front sight blade: cheap, easy, VISIBLE (defense, hunting, IPSC).
My 7.5" 357 has the factory gold bead front; trying it for long-distance shooting, but sloooow from the holster.

My 5.5" guns are worn in a Milt Sparks HSR; perfect for IPSC, field carry, and concealment with a baggy jacket or coat (Vermont, you know).
My 7.5" is in some cheap nylon thingy. Fits in the HSR, but the barrel hangs out the bottom and the bead front impairs a smooth draw.

NONE have custom springs installed, or been 'smithed. ALL have good-to-great triggers, and ALL are stunningly accurate. With good ammo.......
