2 hours w gunscrubber to unglue and clean up the Smith model 60 I got. Non functional....priced right. Like new.....cept shellacked internals.
I dunno what the prev owner of my 760 used.....pinkish orange hard crap everywhere in trigger housing
sounds like contaminated, and hardened bearing grease......
Im with you on the fact that poor maintenance is on the owner/operator, and for every idiot trap, theres a better idiot......
But the Walkers been known to trap regular idiots (and some not idiots) more often than any other design im aware of.
The Xmark Pro has a couple features to make it much tougher for regular idiots to trap themselves, so much so that they arnt very good feeling stock triggers, and This Idiot went looking for why... found it too, and unfortunately the imma screw up your trigger feel fix, for one previous (bubba) issue wasn't that great a fix.
Id be interested in a pole of how many of US on here have had, or seen a Walker fail. I generally trust this community to be fair about it.
Again, If you understand your equipment, keep it clean and in proper working order, the Walker is actually quite a nice trigger. IMO it does behoove the user to be even more aware of the other safety aspects of firearms handling, as even an AD/ND is relatively uneventful if it happens in a safe direction.
