Hello all,
I’m a lifelong shooter of Ruger revolvers. SP101, GP100, and a super single six. I’d argue my GP100 has gotten its own trigger job by way of the thousands of rounds of .38 over the years. But today I picked up a S&W 63 on a whim since my LGS had sold the SP101 in .22 that I went in intending to buy.
Question is this: The S&W a totally different beast mechanically. With my Rugers, I strip them down (removing cylinder, firing spring, hammer, trigger assembly), every third shooting or so. What’s the consensus on a Smith? Seems more complicated and more prone to random bits and pieces getting lost.
Gave mine a good scrub today. But wondering how far to take the cleaning after a few hundred rounds?
Oh, and yeah... the trigger seems pretty sweet.
Thanks.
