Taurus Revolver Trigger Pull

boeboe
Is is possible to smooth up and lighten the double action trigger pull on a Taurus without a lot of effort?

    I would like to ease the double action trigger pull on a Taurus Model 941 revolver. The gun belongs to an elderly woman who is having a real hard time pulling the trigger. I would think this would entail replacing the trigger spring in the grip. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement spring or if there is another way to accomplish this?
    Thanks.

    I installed a Trapper gun tune up kits (springs) and it made my taurus .17 fantastic.. Trigger is 1/2 as heavy now.. Very nice..

    I have a 22mag Tracker that came with a DA of 15.5 and a SA of 6.5. I paid a gunsmith about $50 for a trigger job... polish, adjust, and respring. The DA is now 10lb and the SA is now about 2.5lb. It was worth every penny.

    There is nothing better than taking an "alright" gun and having a smith polish her trigger up and then that gun becomes a gem becasue of that sweet trigger. Have a smith do it, i found a smith in my area that does outstanding jobs for $30.

    There is a company called Wolff that sells springs for all kinds on handguns. The semi-auto pistol is a lot easier than a revolver to replace springs on in my opinion. Have a good gunsmith do it for safety reasons. It will make such a difference in how accurate you shoot, you may want to have every handgun you own done. Most gunmakers have a SA pull of no less than 4 or 5 lbs. for liability issues.

    Yes it is.
    Easiest method first; replace the trigger spring with a lighter one.
    If that didn't do the trick, replace the hammer spring with a slightly lighter one.

    When you've done that, and still want a featherweight trigger pull; you'll have to stone it. Almost anyone who has used sandpaper on a wall to roughen up the texture can do this.
    The whole idea is not to change any angles, nor smooth any protrusions that help your gun fire safely.

    Disassemble your gun, remove the trigger group, and look carefully at the surfaces of the sear/hammer where they engage one another. You should see slight striations where the 2 metal surfaces have made contact prior to firing. If you use a fine India stone to polish the area just below the notches on the sear/hammer mating surfaces, you should smooth it up a little. In conjunction with the lightened springs; you should have a smooth-as-silk trigger pull on DA and a thin glass rod snapping neatly in two on SA.

    If, however, you change any angles, remove any notches, or grind the metal into submission; you might want to look into paintball, because your gun has become a liability.
    Taurus are almost identical to S&W revolvers inside, any good pistolsmithing book will give you an idea of what's to be done.
