Buttery Smooth Triggers

[jim8115]

I have several mod 10's and I thought nothing could have a better trigger...Until I aquired a pair of model 28's ( one for me, one for my wife ).

Jim,

I am blessed to own some pretty great guns. Model 15's. Model 14, 686s, Model 19, Diamondbacks, Python, Colt Officer's (Special and target) as well as K-22s and they ALL have WONDERFUL triggers. Heck, even my old trashy Cobra has a great trigger.

But you have got to try a long-action Smith.

no creep, no stack, just smooth and completely linear.

amazing

I'm relatively new to handguns but, the one that gets the "Goose Grease" award over my Dan Wessons, Rugers, and yes, even my Smith is my MKIII Trooper. I've never operated a Python, or an early Trooper model but I would LOVE to compare it with the slickest action that I own. Not saying that mine would be better, but it sure would be AWESOME to figure out what "better" might feel like!

The cost of a Python prevents me from having my own and greatly hinders me wanting to just "take one for a test drive" out of respect for someone elses gun. I figure that if I'm not interested in buying it, they shouldn't have to wipe my fingerprints off for the next guy.

I am fine meeting folks at the range and letting them play.

After all, what is the fun of having toys if you can't share them?

Get to the Austin area and PM me.

thanks for the offer Guillermo!

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Spent some time in San Antonio this year, and Springtown, and of course, Luckenbach! If I have my way, I'll make it back to the big state again.

Jim Watson,

The guy that did the action job on my SP 101 had worked for Les Baer for 15 years, I think this man knows the insides of a revolver. Just removing the burrs from the casting process, and a little stoning made all the difference. Stoning was done on the hammer area and trigger, now smooth as glass.

 

[Guillermo]

I didn't know Les Baer can even spell revolver?

1911s on the other hand...

 

[788Ham]

Ahem.... he is very disciplined in his work G, he knows revolvers about as well as the 1911's he takes care of, he and the owner Bob. Family reasons were his reason for moving out here, our benefit and pleasure to have a very good and knowledgeable smith in these parts!

hopefully it will make up for the lack of oxygen

IMHO, virtually any revolver will benefit from an action job. Some just need it worse than others. My 629MG was tuned by Bob Munden before I came to be its owner and is slicker than butter on glass. As is my model 18, tuned by an unknown gunsmith. I had a model 29 and a model 17 tuned by a S&W factory gunsmith and they are not nearly as slick as the other two. All have lighter, smoother triggers and actions than any of my untuned guns.

The only thing finer to me than a professionally tuned S&W is a professionally tuned single action. With Old Model Rugers, Colt's and replicas being preferred over New Model Rugers.

But I have never seen directions for working over a DA Ruger or a gunsmith advertising it as a service. Too hard or too easy to bother with?

I don't know of any revolversmith, nor have I dealt with any revolversmiths, who did not do tuning of Ruger DA's.

Never felt anything better than my Colt Police Positive...

Rug Rev posted a great how to for the Ruger Sp101.Does anybody know if the internals are the same on A Gp100?If not does anybody know where to get a guide like the one he posted?Looks like a fun project to do on a nasty winter day.
