I just put one in my 1894 Cowboy. I absolutely love it. Measures in at about 2 1/2 lbs. and very crisp. I tested it for safety by cocking the rifle (unloaded of course) and bumping the rear of the buttstock on a wooden work bench cushioned by piece of old carpet. Banged it pretty good and no unintentional hammer drops. I'd be careful hunting with gloves on if this is what you intend, the trigger is really light and sensitive but not at all unsafe in my opinion.
