Has anyone tried these yet? I went in for one, should be here soon so I can report back. He makes them for the axis as well.

Those are Ben Chappell's(Grimstod Desh)Stuff. I'm interested in how that kit goes. He uses a spacer like I do rather than cutting the BAS. But he uses a thrust bearing rather than a single point contact pivot like most others use.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
I prefer the type that uses the single small bearing in the middle. The less points of contact, the less friction.
I have used the modded 39 special case, but was never happy with how they fit the firing pin sleeve very loosely. So I took a small brass rod a little larger than the sleeve, chucked it up in my lathe and turned it to fit the sleeve perfectly. I made the lip the same thickness as the 38 special case. I then uses a center drill and made a tiny pilot hole in the middle just big enough to hold a tiny bearing ball (had a pack of them left over from something).
It works really great and fits like a glove. My BAS had already been shortened for the modded 38 spl case, so I did not have to do anything with it.
I've heard mixed results from all the other kits you can buy online, so I figured i'd try the newest on the block. I don't have access to any of those tools to make my own with the 38 case and bearing, is there a kit out there I can just buy?
The best way is a T&T from SSS but Kevin Rayhill of Stockade sells these for 15.00

This article was written by Fred (sharpshooter) several years ago when someone else here on the site devised a similar kit using a thrust bearing and was offering to send them out for free for people to try - basically doing his Beta testing for him. That's never a good thing, and in the article linked below he shows how the thrust bearing option isn't as effective as a single point of contact design. That said, for those with the newer guns with the cocking indicator poking through the bolt assembly screw (BAS), the thrust washer style is the easier/cheaper solution.
Fred is also the one who came up with the kit using the .38 Spl case with a detent ball epoxied into the primer pocket as a bolt lift kit (basically the same thing as what Kevin Rayhill sells at Stockade)

I used one similar to what RH posted above from a different source.
Interesting. The ones I made are pretty much exactly like that, except the ball bearing is smaller and does not stick out quite that far.Originally Posted by Robinhood
