I recently bought a Ruger SP101 (double-action only 5 shot revolver) and I am having trouble with the trigger pull. Basically after shooting 30 rounds, my finger started to ache (not because of the gun hitting the hand after the shot, but because of the strong double-action only trigger).
I've been told it is best to use the tip of your finger to push the trigger.... I can not do that with this gun. What I've been doing is pushing the trigger with the dead center of my finger... only way I can get it to work. Sometimes, I won't be able to push it far back enough (very close to dropping the hammer) and I will need to release the trigger... take a small break... get back to it.
Is this the issue with the grip or the trigger? Is it possible I can put a larger grip on it to give me more leverage? Do I need to do finger sit-ups to get my finger-mussels all in shaped
I really want to be able to go to the range, shoot 100 rounds and have fun with this revolver. Right now, it is painful.
