Bornells has the trigger springs to liten the trigger pull. If your sure you want it liter and are willing to buy the springs, you might try compressing the hammer spring. I`ve done this to acouple of them with very good result, but if you compress them to much you will have to buy a new spring, but if your going to buy one you have nothing to lose by trying it. Don`t do too much at once, and rember that your lessing the hammer fall as you do it so you can go to far. But it`s not to hard to do, just take the grips off and you`ll see what needs done. Good luck.

Les,
I used to custom fit the trigger shoe designed for the Colt 1911, to Ruger SBHs so that it acted as a trigger stop when installed. The concept worked very well and created the wider "target trigger" effect that I think is what you are after? Lessoning the tension of the hammer spring is usually not recommended as fitting the hammer notch to the sear for a clean, crisp break and then altering the angle on the legs of the trigger return spring to adjust the weight of pull is entirely sufficient to obtain a perfect trigger without altering lock-time. Everyone has thier own way of doing things, and this is mine. Maybe it will serve you as well as it has me these last 35 years or so.

thanks it would probably be called a trigger shoe. i have also seen them on double actions. they have set screws and make the trigger wider with ridges

now if i can find where to get one

Go to www.brownells.com and look for the wolff spring kits. They will have what you are looking for, EXCEPT a target trigger for a Ruger Single action. You can do a lot of stoning, polishing, and spring work, but you will never actually get a "target" trigger in one.

Good luck with your project, hope it works out for you.

no what i am talking about slips over reg trigger held in place by set screws and makes stock trigger wider with ridges like the triggers on S&W target models. not the pull itself but the actual trigger

les hemby,

Try the trigger shoe offered by the same folks that brought us the Tyler T Grip http://www.t-grips.com/

I do not have this trigger shoe but have heard that they are of good quality, again this is not first hand experience.

Good luck

Fred

My Super Blackhawk has a wide grooved trigger on it already. I don't like it because with heavy loads it is uncomfortable on the finger so beware! I'm looking for a smooth trigger to replace my grooved one.
