I like how Mr. G. keeps his absolute professionalism when speaking about other companies, their products and their work. A gentleman and an artist. Here here!
Ya know... I'm not a big revolver fan (not at all really), but I'll take 30 minutes out of my day to watch a master gun smith... It's always an honor and a pleasure to be able to watch Terry G (Yoda) at work. Thanks for bringing us a long Nutn and it was great to see Tac-D back home!
This is a n excellent video if you can ignore the narrator who sounds like he's sixteen years old...hey, Dude, it's freaking cool. In contrast to that, the gunsmith is low key, lucid, confident, and skilled...well worth watching and listening to.
Excellent :) Went right into hospital for an unplanned surgery after my vacation... but again Nutn saves my day with informative and entertaining vids. I can't wait to get out again :) Thanks Dude!
That Gunsmith was impressive in his workmanship AND his ability to answer questions proffesionaly. Good advice on leaving full power hammer springs in place for proper primer strikes. Thanks for making this video.
I just completed a trigger job on my 642CT following the video. While technically a correct and complete video, I have to agree with Mike Myers, another commenter below about the need for a tripod and nixing the chit-chat. The author kept taking Terry off task, as well as constantly panning the camera at the most inopportune times, like when Terry was doing something critical. Because of all of the interruptions and panning, I had to pause and rewind dozens of times to actually follow Terry's sequence and instructions. Suggest that "next time" you let the gunsmith drive the conversation and NOT continually over-talk them when only YOU think there is too much dead air time.
firearms, both revolver and automatic are some of the most impressive mechanical inventions of all time in my opinion. This is a perfect video demonstrating that; great video!
Thanks to this video my J frame now shoots like a dream! I used to only shoot that gun because I had to fro practice. After 20-25 rounds my hand was exhausted from the heavy trigger pull, and I'm not a small guy. I bought the Apex spring kit, hogue grips, and spydeco polishing stones and now I don't want to stop shooting this gun! Accuracy went way up and more importantly confidence and fun factor in shooting this gun went way up. Thanks TNP and Terry G!!!
After watching this video several times I slicked up my 642 Airweight by stoning lightly and adding a 14# return spring. The trigger is much smoother and a little lighter now. Thank you so much for the informative, step-by-step info!
thanks for nutnfancy and Terry G for allowing Nutn to film his work and discussing triggers on film. Alot of gunsmiths dont like to be filmed. Great vid and really guys thx soo much. TNP all the way!
I own a few S&W revolvers. Model 67, 29,686 and can see that this video will be useful for working and cleaning all of them. Thank you for all the useful information and thank Yoda also.
Another quality episode! Really fascinating to see the guts of this revolver...thanks to you nutn' and to Terry for his willingness to share his knowledge and expertise. I bet he'll soon be swamped! I see why they call him Yoda ;)
Great video with excellent detail in polishing and adding lighter springs gets you to a smooth trigger pull quicker. This helps out the j frame which are notorious for the heavy and not so smooth trigger pull with a hump in the middle of the action on double action. There is a lot more that can be done trigger shaping, polishing cylinder notches, polishing cylinder lock etc. Just installing lighter springs will not address roughness in the action only polishing can do that, and most people don't realize the roughness is the main issue. Terry at Impact guns Ogden is a real pro he makes it look so easy.
I just did this procedure using Terry's video as a guide and it worked amazing. I got my new springs from Wolff for $9.00. The only part that requires some finesse with a flat blade screwdriver is getting the rebound spring back over the post. To prevent tears I put a layer of duct tape on the frame below this area in case the screwdriver slipped. After about 4 tries I pushed HARD enough to get it back in place. You can get the hard Arkansas stones Terry is using at Brownell's or Midway.
This is a great video and I'm sure it will help get Terry and Impact Guns more business as it inspires confidence in the work. It's good to see Tactical Doodle again too. Thanks for your time.
Great video! I watched this vid, pausing often, to take apart my S&W 637 and put it back together. After I was comfortable with that, I polished a most of the parts shown in the video (being very careful). The result is that the double action trigger pull is smother and the single action beaks like glass.
I Installed a Wilson Combat Spring Kit in my Model 49 Bodyguard and did the same action polishing with an Arkansas stone. The only difference was that I had one heck of a time getting the lightest trigger rebound spring back in in even with my Rebound Slide Spring tool. I think it reduced the trigger pull by half to 8 pounds. The old springs were insane for such a small revolver.
@Kylef7735 it's not just metal polishing, it's also watching a person erase something or when a person is sanding drywall. Better in person than on video though. OK, gonna get my fix and search for drywall finsihing.
Great video. I agree that I wouldn't attempt such a job just from watching this video, but to me these videos are just interesting to see the work as well as the internal designs of the guns.
This is an amazing video. I just recently subscribed to your channel and I have enjoyed every one of your reviews. Keep up the good work, I know i will be eagerly awaiting every update.
Great video! I just bought a 638. I'm going to put the spring kit in it and then after shooting some rounds through it I'll have my gunsmith do a trigger job on it. I'd love to see one of these videos on the Ruger LCR.
Excellent video. I wouldn't do such a detailed breakdown of my own revolvers, but it is interesting to see how things work under the sideplate. I'll leave the critical work to real gunsmiths (which I am not) to avoid screwing up my piece. Thanks much.
A+ fellas. Not something I would try on my own but it is very good to see how a pro does it! I will be sure to tune into your 1911 video as well. Thanks!
Thanks a lot for the educational demo, nutnfancy. I did this to my Airweight Centennial, and it was even easier than the Bodyguard in the demo. It uses the same springs, but there is no single-action sear so there are fewer parts to polish, Straight ahead.
Nutn you're getting "Thumps up" from me for each and every single video anyway, but when TG does a triggerjob, I can hit the button before the film starts. Thank you very much for another great upload and thank you Mr. G for sharing your wisdom.
i like how you mentioned sigs warranty, I have a p238 and i duracoated the slide relase and safety level black so it would have no shiny parts bc its my ccw and they wouldnt fix my feeding problem on it, but i might change to this. thanks for the great review!
nutn... I know you have a military job, a police job, a volunteer firefighter job, a part-time EMT job, a dating service job, plus all of your commitments to family and friends..., but I sure am glad that you spend time making videos of yourself doing cool stuff. :)
After seeing this, googled Impact and called Terry, got info and sent mine in. I'm waiting for it to come back. I'll give my opinion in a few weeks after test fireing.
thought it was a great and informational video I have a airweight Smith & Wesson revolver with a decent trigger but it could be better at least now I know where to start and I Love Wilson Combat parts I have them in My Para Ordinance 1911 and they are great was glad to see you using them cant wait to see more videos ...
Very useful video. It was great that Terry went through all the steps as he did. Camera was sharp, and focused. A tripod might have been nice, but I had no problem following as the camera was moved to get a good view. I didn't like the chit-chat.... there were several times when i wanted to know what Terry was doing, not hear about knives and dirty hands, and the prices of parts. Especially at the end, Terry was doing a lot of things, but not telling us what he was doing, or why, because he was caught up in other conversations. Mobile phones - suggestion, if you stop, and want to start filming again, start up before Terry moves his hands into the picture. The way it is now, you wonder what you missed. Suggestion - there was only one title up at the top right in the video. If you're going to do titles, maybe put something up there for each part Terry is working on. One month ago, I would have had no idea what all those parts are, or what they do. Now I can, but others might benefit from the titles. Sorry if I sound critical - that's just me. I still found the video very useful, and I'll save this link for future reference.
Terry speaks pleasantly, and in nice english. The narrator is a tad annoying. Overall excellent video. I appreciate the technical information. It's not often something like this comes along. Thanks.
I'm sure as much as he would have loved to have a tripod, he was behind the scenes of an everyday job of perfection that is rarely seen. So a tripod would probably been pretty intrusive, not to ment they had like 4 people in a 4x4x8 space. I'm thankful just to have seen this video. I was so stuck on the information I was receiving, I didn't even notice camera shake.
I highly suggest a apex spring kit for J-frames. If your handy you can to it yourself. Your replacing springs and the firing pin. SPEND THE $8.00 and buy the spring removal tool. I polished with brasso on the contacts and cleaned them. The difference is night and day. DA is firm but even throughout the pull. Before it was not accurate and difficult for women. If you don't want to do any of this........ take off the handle and greave the main spring. S&W has no lube on spring and guide rod. I highly suggest just doing that.
hey nutnfancy do you shoot with both eyes opened even if firing from a far distance? Please answer back thanks. And if you do please post a video about it. thanks
would it be possible to get a list of necessary tools? i'd like to try this myself for the first time and want to make sure i have everything i need on hand.
Search Brownells.com for these parts: 657-300-033WB 100-010-760WB 965-321-000WB That should be about all you need other than some gun oil, screwdrivers (preferably hollow ground), and a rubber/nylon small hammer (you could use the back of the screwdriver instead, I have a small rubber/nylon hammer though)
Hey nutn I noticed your front sight on your 638 is colored. I have a 642 and the front ramp in not colored. was wondering if you did your self of it is stock from S&W. Thank you in advance and enjoy your videos.
Great video! Can I use really fine sand paper and achieve the same results? I'd hate to spend close to 20 bucks just to have one stone shipped to me only to never use it again...
@nutnfancy Im active duty military and Iv'e carry an hk ascender everyday in a saltwater environment and love it. No rust and sure holds one hell of an edge.

Love the Terry G. gunsmithing videos. Much respect, keep up the good work guys, appreciate all your effort.
That man is a true craftsman. He is worth the money and time. No doubt. Thanks for your knowledge Yoda G.
it really is amazing to realize just how ingenious the designs are

I'm not much of a revolver guy but dang its awesome to watch Terry do his thing!
Great video. I agree that I wouldn't attempt such a job just from watching this video, but to me these videos are just interesting to see the work as well as the internal designs of the guns.
@NoiseMostBeautiful All the contact info is in the sidebar. You could call Terry and firm up plans on your shipping options. -- Veri
I really like the gun-smithing videos. Great data points for firearm maintenance. Keep 'em coming nutn!
These vids are so interesting, a real contrast to your run'n gun vids. Love it
This is an amazing video. I just recently subscribed to your channel and I have enjoyed every one of your reviews. Keep up the good work, I know i will be eagerly awaiting every update.

Wow! We need more videos of a revolver breakdown disassembly. Awesome video! trigger jobs to lighten the trigger pull
A+ fellas. Not something I would try on my own but it is very good to see how a pro does it! I will be sure to tune into your 1911 video as well. Thanks!
I love these vids,I love taking things apart,and seeing how they work. This is fascinating...Hope that didnt make me sound like a dork.
i really love seeing these gun smithing videos. it's really fascinating stuff.
I always expect revolvers to be simpler, but it's nice to see all the safeties they put in
I can't warm up to the looks of the shrouded hammer, but i Love these gunsmithing videos, and would really really love to see a PPK trigger job.
wow lots of great information. A true master gunsmith to make it look so easy.
Thanks a lot for the educational demo, nutnfancy. I did this to my Airweight Centennial, and it was even easier than the Bodyguard in the demo. It uses the same springs, but there is no single-action sear so there are fewer parts to polish, Straight ahead.

What a pro! He did it all and as a tutorial in under 30mins !!
Love these vids at Terry's workbench! Thanks for posting.
great video just would have liked to have seen before and after trigger pull weights
i like how you mentioned sigs warranty, I have a p238 and i duracoated the slide relase and safety level black so it would have no shiny parts bc its my ccw and they wouldnt fix my feeding problem on it, but i might change to this. thanks for the great review!
Great vid. Had no clue what was in there. Im surprised how much!
DUDE, awsome video as always. Please keep the Terry G vids coming.
Terry G is the Man! loved the vid, keep up the good work Nutnfancy you have my support.
nutn... I know you have a military job, a police job, a volunteer firefighter job, a part-time EMT job, a dating service job, plus all of your commitments to family and friends..., but I sure am glad that you spend time making videos of yourself doing cool stuff. :)
I love all of the Terry G videos thanks for bringing them to us Nutn.
can I have a suggestion for an Arkansas Stone ?
excellent education. seriously, more of this type if you can nutn. thanks for the project
Fave vid so far! I had no idea those parts were so small. The triggers on the S&W J frames are heavy!
Well, I did it. The trigger pull is sooooo much better. Once again, thanks for the video!
Just used your video as my guide to yoda g my s&w 386pd, Thanks for the video. Trigger very feels nice more so that I did it myself!
one of the best gun videos i 've ever seen.
After seeing this, googled Impact and called Terry, got info and sent mine in. I'm waiting for it to come back. I'll give my opinion in a few weeks after test fireing.
beautiful footage of an amazing guns inner workings.
Man.. I live 10 minutes from this amazing shop, I wish I could get over there more often.
Love these gunsmithing videos!
Very impressive work. A true master.
Excellent video, I used this as a source to do a trigger job on my new S&W 686.
Nice job as usual. The Terry G vids are great. Keep 'em coming Nutn!
I'm so going to try this using your vid as a guide. Wish me luck!
thought it was a great and informational video I have a airweight Smith & Wesson revolver with a decent trigger but it could be better at least now I know where to start and I Love Wilson Combat parts I have them in My Para Ordinance 1911 and they are great was glad to see you using them cant wait to see more videos ...
@1083CharlieZulu Yes, it was great review of the lockwork. Fun times!
YA MINI PERCIDIO!!!! i love that knife! i just went to a knife store looking for a benchmade and the mini percidio was my favourite.
Great video the shop visit is a treat.
I went to Impact gun's website and gunsmithing is not mentioned. Does Terry do work for the public?
Very useful video. It was great that Terry went through all the steps as he did. Camera was sharp, and focused. A tripod might have been nice, but I had no problem following as the camera was moved to get a good view.

Awesome video.
I've always wanted to see the internal workings of a Smith and Wesson bodyguard. (:
Excellent work both by the Mr Terry and nutnfancy.
@bubba102893 Benchmade H&K Ascender, large variety. Previously reviewed, he loves.
Terry speaks pleasantly, and in nice english. The narrator is a tad annoying. Overall excellent video. I appreciate the technical information. It's not often something like this comes along.
Thanks.

most excellent Terry, great work nutn
Would these surfaces that are being polished eventually polish themselves over years of use?
how much would a job like this cost i would like to send him my airweight
I highly suggest a apex spring kit for J-frames. If your handy you can to it yourself. Your replacing springs and the firing pin. SPEND THE $8.00 and buy the spring removal tool. I polished with brasso on the contacts and cleaned them. The difference is night and day. DA is firm but even throughout the pull. Before it was not accurate and difficult for women.
If you don't want to do any of this........ take off the handle and greave the main spring. S&W has no lube on spring and guide rod. I highly suggest just doing that.
amazing how easy gunsmiths make it look... i wish i had a good gunsmith around here...
hey nutnfancy do you shoot with both eyes opened even if firing from a far distance? Please answer back thanks. And if you do please post a video about it. thanks
Excellent video !!! I love the Airweights and have owned the 637, 638, and 642. Prefer the 637 which I still have.
@razeromg I had to ask Nutn what that rooster sound was in the video! :D -- Veri
love all your trigger job vids thanks
Terry G needs his own RUclips channel.
would it be possible to get a list of necessary tools? i'd like to try this myself for the first time and want to make sure i have everything i need on hand.
Search Brownells.com for these parts:
657-300-033WB
100-010-760WB
965-321-000WB
That should be about all you need other than some gun oil, screwdrivers (preferably hollow ground), and a rubber/nylon small hammer (you could use the back of the screwdriver instead, I have a small rubber/nylon hammer though)
Did tacticaldoodle just start picking up guns and dry firing them???
Hey nutn I noticed your front sight on your 638 is colored. I have a 642 and the front ramp in not colored. was wondering if you did your self of it is stock from S&W. Thank you in advance and enjoy your videos.
uhhh yeah ill just let the local gun smith do this one.
hay nutn lets get some info on that HK knife im thinking about getting one thanks
Would love more info on the knife your son had. Thanks.
would really like info on the knife nunts son was carrying. belive he said hk steathy assender but cant find any info online about it
Great video! Can I use really fine sand paper and achieve the same results? I'd hate to spend close to 20 bucks just to have one stone shipped to me only to never use it again...
Can you explain why S&W don't install weaker springs in the first place?
@nutnfancy Im active duty military and Iv'e carry an hk ascender everyday in a saltwater environment and love it. No rust and sure holds one hell of an edge.
These are the best videos nutnfancy does.
Was doodles blade the mini ascender or the full size?
Great watching a master at work
Once again great job. Keep up the great work.
What's your opinion on removing the internal trigger lock?
