I have been thinking about getting the M Carbo trigger spring kit and polishing kit. This would be for my Ruger GP-100. On their website I have watched their 1.5 hour video detailing the entire process. But I'm hesitating for a few reasons. Am I going to mess something up that requires me to take it to a gunsmith? Do I really need to do it? Can I do it?
As far as need, compared to my Colt Anaconda, The GP-100 trigger/hammer is much rougher and heavier. When I dry fire the Anaconda in double action, the sites remain absolutely still. No matter how hard I try, I cannot keep the sites still on the Ruger with a double action pull. Maybe I just need practice? Or maybe I need a trigger job to lighten and smooth things up?
As for messing things up, I'm worried that I'll polish the wrong thing, or not be able to put something back together. Or just break something.
As for can I. I have mostly fully taken apart a Uberti SAA. I know the 2 guns are completely different. But I figure if I can do that, I should have the mechanical ability necessary to do this. I hope. I've also put together an AR lower. It just seems like a lot of parts that have to be exact and can become mixed up and confusing.
So, based on your experience doing a revolver trigger job, and based on my needs/experience, is this doable as a DIY project?
