[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5771904, member: 3052"] Too much emphasis is put on the trigger anymore, implying that it needs to be replaced. That's sometimes true, but I think it's rare. I've owned a lot of guns and only had one bad trigger that I had to replace. And believe it or not it was a few years ago on an S&W Performance Center gun. In my 20's I shot on a Police Pistol Team. It was around 1982, and I was trying to use a Colt Python. They were supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread. That was back when Colt still wanted to sell to citizens. I was shooting and carrying K & L frames S&W's and had been for years. After shooting my third 6" Python in a match I got frustrated because my shots were all over the place. I got my Duty 686 out of the trunk and got great results, far better than the Python. After the match I told our Captain, a Colt shooter, something was wrong with my Python. He drilled the center out of a target. It was me, not the gun. He said I wasn't used to the long trigger pull of the Colt. I was the problem and not the gun. Instead of trying to overcome it, I sold the Python and never looked back, I had no reason to. I wish I could have just put it in the safe and left it, but I didn't have the money back then. Trigger control is tough. Hand most anyone on here a revolver with one empty cylinder and 99% of them will jerk the gun after the trigger falls on the empty cylinder. It doesn't mean it would be a miss. If he's shooting without ear protection that could be a big factor. I did it when I was young, and I would never allow my kids to do it now because my hearing was damaged from it. I didn't know better then, I do now…we all do. Those are just some of my opinions. They may only be worth what you paid for them. ;) [/QUOTE]
