You're still gonna have a while because even once the hammer arrives, today or tomorrow, before I can even FIRE full-power SMC I have to either rack up gym hours building up my left arm or have a bodybuilder's transplanted on.

The hardest parts are waiting for runs of ammo, waiting for budget... and with Turd Ferguson's gun-grabbery there are very few smiths left around Puget Sound. I won't fire even ACP until I've had a pro check my work over.

Update: Harrison ignition partially in and tested... somehow misplaced my trigger and hammer strut pin though, those have to wait til I can collect from a nonpaying client.

Admittedly without a trigger or mainspring connection, the lockup on both the full- and half-cock notches feels very firm (I'm using the True Radius hammer and sear) - frankly, without a trigger I have to get creative figuring out how to reach in and flip the sear. Thumb safety needs some filing on the sear lug to be able to install.

So far stops on the Big Range Roadtrip once it's done and my household is in a state where I can travel include...

SOUTH TOUR
Berryville, AR - Wilson Combat
Kennesaw, GA - Harrison Custom
Venice, FL - Fusion Firearms

NORTH TOUR
Quakertown, PA - EGW
Wolcott, VT - Caspian Arms
and a possible stop at Springfield if Illinois gets CCW sanity either adopted or imposed to get off my No Go List
