Well, we were out shooting with my BIL who is an ex-marine and LEO and he said the trigger felt too hard. We had the range smith look at it and he said it was at about 14lbs which is too hard. He said that most new revolvers today have the trigger set too hard from factory because of liability issues.
Thank you lawyers
10-13 lbs is pretty normal for any revolver. 14 doesn't sound THAT excessive. It's not how heavy it is, but how smooth it is, though lots of women don't have the strength for some of the J frames, especially. This is a reason Smith came out with lighter triggers in the Lady Smith.
Getting light on the DA on a revolver is a good way to get misfire problems, especially with hard primers like CCI. If you can't get used to shooting DA, I guess your option is single action, revolver or auto. On a revolver, just pull the hammer back and instant crisp, light trigger. Of course, that's frowned upon by gun gurus and self defense "experts", but my wife can't shoot my revolvers DA either, even my Taurus 85 which is light compared to my M66 or my Smith M10. So, I taught her to cock and fire. She shoots well single action. You do what you gotta do. She doesn't carry, was just worried about here at home when I'm gone, so we go to the range now and then together. Single action beats throwing rocks.
I have owned Rossis and have a couple now. They are a little stiffer and rougher than my Smith and Taurus revolvers, but not hard for me to shoot DA, except for that little .22. That one's rough, but good practice for the real guns...
I shoot it mostly single action when I'm serious about hitting something. My little Taurus M85UL is extremely good, though, even compared to my Smith M10 and is quite a bit easier than my Rossi M68. So, it varies, but the Rossi is not one of the better guns out of the box for DA trigger pull. At the price, you can't expect it to be, really. It's a good gun, shoots every time, quite accurate, but mine isn't a world class DA trigger.
