I find myself just a little frustrated by the lack of innovation in DA revolver triggers amongst "all" DA revolver manufacturers, especially notable in small frame revolvers.
Many folks will acknowledge that the S&W DAO Js leave something to be desired. The best conventional small frame triggers I myself have handled are on an old model J-frame 60 and a Taurus 85 (both DA/SA of course).. but "everybody" seems to admire the LCR trigger.
Got to give Ruger credit for bringing out a lot of new models lately, but I don't understand why they do not better leverage their position with the new/different and well liked LCR trigger design. I sure would like to see more of that in more/different revolvers, especially so in something steel.
I myself thought all riflemen ought have sent a thank you note to Savage for their Accu-trigger design, whether they actually liked it or not. Seems to me that was the 1st time in decades that somebody started putting new & improved trigger design into off-the-shelf bolt action rifles, and the rest of the rifle makers finally woke up, each coming out with some version or other of "new & improved" as a delayed reaction to that.
Why not more of that ?
Seems like the makers are willing enough to trial most anything else, some of it bordering on different solely for the sake of different.
You could say "don't fix it if it ain't broke", but it is pert near 'broke' on a lot of small frame revolvers
