Taurus .22Mag Revolver

I have a Taurus .22mag that has a very, very strong trigger pull. I bought this gun new and have sent it back to the factory once. Does anyonew have any advise? Can this problem be fixed>

    My 941 has a 1.5 lb. trigger pull in double action and almost the same (1.2 lb) in single action. It didn't come from the factory like that. If you're gonna "fix" it; you should study up on the inner workings of S&W revolvers, metallurgy, geometry, and physics.
    I took mine apart (removed the sideplate, grips, and crane), lightly polished the sides of anything that moved, pulled the trigger return spring and cleaned up it's little cubbyhole, added a very thin aluminum shim to the side of the trigger pivot point to reduce drag/wobble, and reassembled it.
    This gave me a trigger pull less than 5 lbs., and I wanted it a little smoother and lighter. So, I took it down again, and lightly polished the radii and edges of everything and reassembled it. That resulted in a 2.8 lb trigger pull.
    Then I got to "gunsmiffin'" on it, and dropped another pound of trigger pull, but I started to get lighter strikes than I wanted. I then replaced the trigger return spring with another fresh one from Brasil; did an adjustment on the main spring, and made it into the utterly reliable, smooth-as-breaking-glass gun I have now.

    The key is to know (or learn) what it is you're doing, and realize that you could ruin it if you go too fast/far.

    Thanks...I am not that eager to get into something I can screw up. I plan to take it to a gunsmith & see what he can do. quote:Originally posted by gunnut505
