    I going to say that Harton the gunsmith would be the best idea.  I fired the Blackhawk and found the trigger not too bad.  I have a Savage rifle with Accutrigger and a 22lr Anschutz with 2&1/2# trigger.  The Ruger Blackhawk wasn't heavy on the trigger and has just enough creep to give me a few seconds to get the sights aligned. It's really shootable.  
      After I get the equipment together to reload for it, I may have the trigger done but, I don't know if I'll feel it needs it.  I did notice that out-of-the-box the pistol functions are dirty, lots of grit from the machining process. That does have something to do with it.  If one doesn't have a high degree of mechanical ability, leave that to a gunsmith. Personally, I can tune Quadrajet carburetors but, the single action is complicated to the average shooter.  I found it on par with the mechanism of the Pre-G2 Contender.  Other than that, gritty and dirty, lacking lubrication.  That makes it shoot and function rough anyway.  A good trigger job wouldn't hurt a thing.

  Here's the link to the article, Harton's email address is halfway down, under the print:

I received some good news a couple of days ago. Alan is finished with my revolvers and they are on the way back - trigger jobs, new sights and other touches. Now to the loading bench with that batch of new .41 mag Starline brass I ordered a couple of months ago and received last week. Life is good.

So let me get this straight you all want ZERO movement of a trigger before release of the sear?  ???  I get maybe a 1/16" of movement on my BH before sear release? We are talking about SA's here not DA!  ::)

I cut my hammer notches to .020", install Old Army hammer springs, polish all of the lumps and bumps on the internals that Ruger often leaves, bend the factory trigger spring to lighten he weight of pull and have a very crisp, near creepless, 3 1/2# trigger that is perfectly safe. I want my trigger pull to be the same whether the gun is a SA or DA. That is what I require. YMMV.
