Hey all,
There seem to be several different trigger configurations out there for these J frames. Are the early narrow grooved triggers simple drop in units compatible and common among all J frames? While were at it, how easy is it to radius the edges of the trigger, or should I leave it for a smith. About how much would it run? Thanks and good shootin!

Changing a trigger may, or may not be a “drop in” proposition, but I’d stick with the one that’s in your gun unless something is wrong with it. You can round the face with nothing more then a couple of short pieces of wood dowel and some emery cloth of various grits. A hand grinder with a sanding drum will speed things up. If you’re not comfortable doing it yourself go to a professional.

I smooth the triggers on my $&W's too. I shoot mostly DA with them and usually get a blister if I use the grooved trigger.
If you secure the trigger in a vice and go slowly with a Dremel tool, or a grinding stone you'll be alright.

I've ground the triggers on quite a few of my S&Ws.

Yep I also prefer the SMOOTH triggers myself ,Its a lot easier on the fingers after an extended shooting session.:)

replacement triggers are seldom a "drop in" item with the smith J-frame as they are "fitted/matched" to the sear/hammer. if you really want a new trigger, you mind as well have a action tune done at the same time.
