Trigger job for Taurus

[Arcticfox]

Hi guys! Need help please.

The trigger on my Tracker is not so smooth. When I shoot, I usually get one round out of 5 that is a foot low and to the right. This appears to be from a trigger that hangs ever so slightly.

Is there anything a gun smith can do to make target shooting better, or do I need to sell it and by a Smith & Wesson? And what would a gun smith charge to fix this?

I have a tracker and the trigger (out of the box) is much better than my S&W, which has had a trigger job. If you have access to a good gunsmith, let him look at it.................ck

Any competent smith that can do a trigger job , should be able to help you out. The Taurus mechanizim is pretty straight forward. ( price in the $25 - $50 range) ($60 to $120 for a full smoothing job)

With that said , if the same chamber is giving a harder pull each time ,then the problem may be in the hand/extractor rachet fit , and has nothing to do with the trigger. It would likely be in the extractor rachet fit for that cylinder, and binds up causing the heavy pull.

If that's the case, maybe a return to Taurus would be the best. They just did a great job with fast turn around on a model 941 for my aunt.

I've been told that you can retrofit a S&W wheelgun spring kit in a Taurus revolver and trigger jobs can be done on those guns too...I guess the trick is finding someone w/ the knowledge & the skill to do the work.

On the early Taurus guns that may well be true. On later and present guns the internals are different and nothing from the S&W will retro-fit. You can get reduced power spring kits for the Taurus's made by Wolff and possibly others, but one must be careful to not reduce the spring tensions to the point of being unreliable . So no need to try to retro-fit anything from a S&W into the Taurus.

The next time you shoot the gun, mark each chamber in the cylinder so you can identify it. When you find a shot placed low and right, check to see which one was in line. Shoot again and again to see if it is the same hole lining up when the problem occurs. It might not be a trigger problem.

Excellent suggestions!!!

I will hit the range and mark the cylinders to see if it truely is the same chamber each time.

Thanks for all you help!
