Who is the best gunsmith in the Jackson area for handgun repair/modifications?
I have an old Colt police 38 that belonged to my dad and needs some work. Who is the best in the Jackson area?

What kind of work you talking about -- finish or internal type work?

A question - what needs work?....Trigger Job or other stuff...
For a Colt probably Billy....
in the "GUNSMITHING Section"...There's a sticky on gunsmiths a few of us like...several in Jxn area
Hope you aint in a hurry...Billy could be backlogged 6 - 8 weeks

Bobby Jones, the gunsmith that PPC world champion Phillip Hemphill uses. He's right here in the Jackson area.
Billy is a good one, as well.

Has anyone ever used "Swann's Gun and Repair" on Old Canton Road, in N. Jxn? I haven't seen much mentioned about them, here.

The repairs I need
The cylinder advance is worn out and will sometimes lock up and prevent the cylinder from turning. The alignment may be off because I have had FTF on some shells, which look like the primer is not being hit squarely. There are some scratches I would not mind having reblued as well.

Go see Billy or Bobby
Bobby is a S&W revolver GURU...which is why I sent U to Billy since it was a Colt...but Bobby will tell you whether or not He'll work on it
Swann's can't pour pi$$ out of a boot

Yeah I haven't been impressed with Swann's. Had a friend take them a bolt out of a Savage that was having an issue and they but the bolt back together wrong....not too good
