Anyone have one? Like it? Dislike it?

shot wolfy's. like it

Great gun but trigger pull is heavy but I was told it needs to be for a 22.

Is the trigger too heavy for (and not to sound sexist, but) a girl?

Great little gun. I've shot the blued-steel version of this revolver. I'm a big fan of all K-frame guns. All S&W's can be "worked" to lighten the trigger pulls. Usually it's a matter of a replacement spring kit or simply backing out the strain screw a tad that acts to hold the mainspring in place. Just tune the action to ensure you get solid ignition with both SA & DA pulls. Replacing the trigger return spring inside the rebound slide is another tactic. Once you're inside there you'll see what areas you can smooth a bit. I've been working on S&W actions for years. They are great revolvers.

 

Here's a link to get you started in the right direction:

Brownell's sells a spring kit. So did Wilson at one time.

Great link, Parker - thank you

 

Wolfy (or anyone else) - do you by any chance also have a 317 or 63? Is the trigger any better?

I love mine. I have a 4" 10 shot. My 11 year old grandson shoots it and in his words "that's one sweet revolver".

My friend has one, Great 22 Pete. The trigger was good on his, too.

Yes but it is smooth, smooth is more important than light.

They would be no better and a 63 is most likely heavier due to the smaller mass of the hammer.

Well you are a bit sexist. Unless risbee's grandson is an 11 year old body builder I would hazard any adult woman could handle the trigger. I've taught a few women in my 30+ years as an instructor and the deciding factor is usually desire to shoot not strength. That includes teaching full auto weapons. Minimal workouts with a rubber ball or hand exerciser will built up sufficient strength in the grip,
