Recently acquired my first revolver, a 4" 586-1. I'd been lusting after this model for a few years and it's beautiful.
It's got the target hammer and .5" serrated target trigger, which presents a jagged edge where it tapers down to go up into the frame. My trigger finger does not love this feature for shooting DA. The guy I got this from is a S&W junky and shoots mostly 38 wadcutters in SA sitting in a chair. He is an elderly gentleman and may shoot however he pleases.
Now, I think SA revolvers are cool too and if I'd wanted to shoot SA, I might have looked for a Blackhawk. But I was really hoping to learn to shoot a DA revolver in DA.
I looked around for smooth triggers, Numrich is out of stock. Looked around on Ebay and there are some for sale but it's kinda hard for me to tell if they've already been ground on by someone or not. I can at least see how to identify and avoid the MIM types.
Am I just being a wimp and ought to toughen up and learn to shoot this jagged target trigger DA? Do any of you like this kind of trigger for DA shooting? Should I take a chance on an Ebay trigger and hope it hasn't been already molested? Anything specific I should look for here? The swap ought to be within my capabilities, but I guess the other option is to take it to a gunsmith who likely will have a smooth trigger laying around somewhere.
Thanks all,
Backcut
