Rich that is an excellent choice. The only thing better, if you are married, is to just say yes dear. I'd have him measure the wall thickness after a visual inspection for pits and being on face. A look at proof marks should tell you what pressure it was proofed for. Check the chamber length to make sure they have not been reamed out. A good gunsmith will save you a lot of money in buying mistakes and might prevent you from shooting an unsafe gun. Fingers are one of my better features so I try real hard to keep them.
