need help with Revolver trigger/hammer pull

[Jason Singh]

hey everyone I need help I am new to revolvers. I have the sp101 357 magnum.

I changed the stock ruger sp 101 hammer and trigger Spring from the original 14lb hammer and 10lb trigger to the 10lb hammer, and to the 8lb trigger Springs.

I like it, BUT when I quickly dry fire it, after two or three clicks it seems to kind of get stuck. When i put the original 10lb trigger spring back on it, it changes and doesnt do that, but the pull is to heavy and I dont like it.

Would a different combo make a difference?

For example, putting the original 10lb trigger spring, and maybe putting the 9lb hammer spring? I tried the 12 lb hammer spring/8lb trigger, and It was okay, but it still was sticking. Will dry firing a few hundred times fix it with the new replacement springs? Currently I have the 10lb hammer and 8 lb trigger spring.

I also have the 9 and 12 lb hammer spring, and a 10lb hammer spring or 8lb hammer spring.

The easy solution would be to have someone who understands the action disassemble it and smooth all the action parts where they bear on each other

Likely closer to a few thousand times.

It will smooth out faster if you put the original springs back it

^That right there. Changing revolver springs to lighten up the trigger pull is mostly a trial and error process, more error in the trial phase though. A proper trigger job would smooth out the bearing surfaces making the trigger pull much smoother. Lightening the springs can often result in not enough force on the firing pin to ignite the primer.

The trigger spring is a trigger Return spring, if the trigger sticks with the lighter one put the heavier trigger spring in with the lighter hammer spring and try that combo.. Lube those parts while your in there.. Have fun..
