Sorry, I can't help you.   :-[  But I must say, I've heard more posative reports on Taurus triggers then bad.  Matter of fact, I'd say, without reservation, that my 44 has the best DA trigger of any revolver I have or remember shooting.  It's smoother DA then my Ruger SBH is SA!   :o

Yeah, my trigger isn't awful by any means, I was just hoping to make it smoother.  I have a friend that did a bunch of mods to his Redhawk and it was the smoothest thing I'd ever exprienced.  Unfortunately he couldn't remember what he did or how he did it.  Apparently he was following a series of magazine articles from a few years back, and has since discarded the information.

I don't have much to add other than mine seems really nice already and I'm like your friend I suffer from CRS (Can't Remember Stuff).

I've already put about 750 through it. Like I said before, it's not bad,  I was just wondering if it could be made better.

I think I have put lighter springs in every revolver I ever had. I have done 2 M94s and 1 M85 and a few S&Ws. Get a Wolffe spring kit, you'll thank me for it. If you can run a screwdriver and not booger up the side plate screws, it's an easy fix. You can clean and lube while your in there. See other posts on springs. If you have creep before the gun goes bang it needs hammer and sear work. I have fixed a few but better done by a smithy. Only handguns I owned that needed that kind of work were a Redhawk and a 1911. I fixed the Redhawk but haven't had the courage to do the 1911 yet.   God Bless !!!
