I am bringing this post back due to work I just did to my MK III. Please see latest post...
My project with my Colt Trooper Mk III is coming along, and I am enjoying it very much. My loads are still more accurate than I am, so I'm leaving them alone for now (H&G 50, Bullseye 2.7gr, .38Spcl wad cutter brass). Firing single action, I am getting closer to holding the black of a 50 ft. NRA slow-fire pistol target at 50ft offhand, though not quite there yet. I am not dealing with DA at this time, as I'm leaving that for a little later. I am shooting it as much as I can, given my back and pelvis issues.
Here is the problem: I really am not happy with the trigger pull, as it is a little creepy, and the trigger weight is too heavy. I would like to know what work can be done before I talk to a gunsmith, so I am knowledgeable about what is possible to modify in the Colt, and what some realistic expectations can be with the trigger in SA and DA. In other words, I need to know what smoke looks like if I am getting it from the gunsmith, as I don't want to end up with a worse situation.
I know one response will be to just keep shooting the thing, and I am happy to say that is what I am doing. However, while it might be much to expect to get a trigger as good as the one in my Colt NM pistol, I do know the one in my Trooper Mk III needs to be better. I am very picky about triggers, and this one just isn't quite there...
Thanks in advance for any education...
