Jan 14, 2010 I would not let anyone 'upgrade' my 1911 using the techniques shown in the 'trigger job' video. The sear and hammer were never checked before or after stoning. The wallowing out of the main spring housing pin holes, and grinding of the grip safety with a motor tool. The pounding of the trigger bar with a punch to adjust take up. Sep 05, 2013 I decided to do a trigger job on my wife's Taurus model 85 blue steel 2' 38 special. When I pulled the cover off I noticed that the trigger spring center pin was a little bent, but at the time I wasn't sure that wasn't designed that way. The schematic in the manual was not that clear. Video shows how to install both the hammer and trigger spring for a Model 85 Taurus Ultralite (38 Special). Polish and trigger job on a taurus 605.357 magnum.
Many, if not most, revolvers leave the factory these days with what can charitably be called a less than satisfactory trigger pull. The typical factory trigger consists of a gritty feeling pull with excessive weight. Trying to shoot a three pound sixgun with a seven pound trigger pull is not conducive to accurate shooting. Add to that a rough feeling sear engagement, and hitting the target becomes more luck than skill.
It is however, easy to understand why any gun manufacturer would want a trigger that could in no way be released by accident.
However, a rough, gritty trigger is never acceptable. The usual solution is to send the gun to a competent gunsmith, along with a good sum of cash, and in a few weeks you will have a sixgun with a trigger pull that is as smooth as silk and as crisp as that new C-note that you gave to the gunsmith.
While the money spent on such a good trigger job is well worth the cost. There are many shooters, myself included, who would rather dispense with the added cost and time delay, and just get to enjoy the new revolver. For those, there is a much simpler and cheaper solution. It's what I call a 'Poor Boy's Trigger Job', hence the title of this article.
This type of trigger work can be performed on most revolvers, with slight variations. I have done such to many Smith & Wesson, Taurus, Colt, and Ruger double actions, but due to their popularity, this article will deal with the single action Ruger, specifically the New Model Blackhawk and Vaquero.
The first operation deals with smoothing the mating surfaces of the sear and trigger. What we are trying to do here is what is called 'marrying the trigger'. It is very simple. After making sure that the gun is unloaded, look and make sure that it is unloaded again. Next, while applying upward pressure with your thumb to the cocked hammer, pull the trigger. You need to apply a good deal of pressure with that thumb. Repeat this step a few times until the trigger pull feels smooth and the gritty feel of the new trigger pull is gone. This removes the microscopic burrs from the surfaces, resulting in a smooth release. Don't over-do it. You want to smooth it, not wear it out.
The next step requires that you remove either of the grip panels, and lift one leg of the trigger return spring from its post, allowing it to hang free. This effectively reduces the spring tension of the trigger, resulting in a reduced weight of pull.
I have, on occasion, also clipped a couple of coils from the hammer spring, but it is usually not necessary, and could result in misfires. The first two steps will most likely result in an excellent trigger pull.
I do not suggest that you try this procedure on a lower quality revolver. If the gun has good, hard internal parts, this procedure will do no harm, and results in a surprisingly good trigger pull, for absolutely no money. On a cheap gun with soft parts, you will ruin the trigger, but if you were the kind of person who bought junk guns, you probably wouldn't be reading Gunblast to begin with.
There it is; the 'Poor Boy's Trigger Job'. I did not invent the procedure, but have successfully used it on many sixguns with great results. It takes longer to read this than to perform the operation on your gun. Before spending several dollars to slick up the action of your newest sixgun, give it a try. I think that you will be pleased.

Taurus Hammer and Trigger Shim Installation Instructions
To install shims in your Taurus, you should disassemble and remove the Hammer and Trigger springs, begin by installing a shim on both* sides of the Trigger and Hammer, re-install the frame side plate (without springs) and check for binding. If the Trigger and Hammer move freely, continue to add shims
At the point you begin to trap or bind the hammer and trigger, you will have your approximate free clearance, and you can then remove shims and install the proper amount, leaving a final clearance of around .003' to .004' - and reassemble the unit complete. I suggest a 12 Piece Kit to provide ample Shims for this procedure
*Note: some guns have pins with a large radius at the base, and the shim will not seat. The Hammer and Trigger Pin Holes are also Radiused, and should seat together. If that is the case, you can successfully shim the Right Side only.
