@old fuff Do you know what kind of jigs i should be looking for or are you just looking for someone to taunt who is trying to learn. I Don't enjoy being treated like i'm stupid.

What about these springs? http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=375177 Will they help to lighten the pull? I test all my ammo before carrying it, so I'm not really worried. Are the springs all one needs for lightening the pull?

The gunsmith was going to replace rebound and hammer springs. I thought that replacing the springs was fairly standard procedure for lightening the trigger pull. As for the motives of S&W, I think that they put in the heavy springs for liability reasons, not because they can't go lower. They...

@ Old Fluff, The gunsmith is a friend from a local gun store and well-trained. He says that you can get a trigger job down to about 8 1/2 lbs and have it be reliable. He said that since it's the older kind where the hammer contains the primer, you aren't losing energy like on the newer models...

I have a revolver and want to fine -tune a few things. 1. I want to lighten the heavy trigger pull. 2. I want to smooth the trigger pull. It tends to be quite sticky. 3. I want to replace the ribbed trigger with a smoother trigger. What would I need to accomplish this project? I...

@rcmodel, I am not new to reloading, only to the .500. Thank you for the link!

Hi, Folks! I had the opportunity to shoot Smith & Wesson's Hand Canon this weekend and it was such a great experience that I am looking into buying a 4" barreled model. I was wondering if anyone knows where to start with reloading supplies (I can figure out brass & primers)? Does anyone...
