Picked up another rim fire handgun

Been wanting one for a while and finally ordered a SW Victory. Ordered some stuff from Tandemkross before even picking it up.
Upgraded trigger, grips, added brake, replaced mag base plates and removed mag disconnect.
The trigger was already pretty good, now the over travel is gone and it breaks about a pound lighter. Grips are really grippy and fit my hands better.
Looking forward to shooting it!

"The Un-Tactical"
Hold one once and didn't liked it; dunno why but I have 2 guns of similar "style" imprinted in my head: My Ruger MkIII Target and a High Standard 103 I had for a while. That might create a bias in myself.
Why not a Ruger Mk?
Waiting for the range report.
Nice!
My dad got one a few weeks ago. I FINALLY was able to talk him into getting rid of the crap Taurus Tracker he had for years. He's been happy with his Victory so far.
I have an older Smith 22A, which I believe was replaced by the Victory. Very accurate gun. I'm considering getting me a Victory. The only thing I didn't like about my dad's was the safety. My right thumb kept turning the safety on as I was shooting and it was annoying. But then I have a habit of holding handguns as high as possible. My dad doesn't seem to have that issue.
Apparently I'm not the only one who's had the safety issue with the Victory...

There are threaded barrel options from Volquartsen that look very well made, but last I looked, they cost nearly half of what the gun is worth. Sadder still, their carbon fiber barrel option - which looks really good and light - has no accommodation for S&W's excellent factory front sight. I have no interest in an optic on that kind of handgun, so it's a deal breaker.
