Revolver Gun Smith
Any recommendations I live in NJ.
I have a S&W M19 and wanted to lighten the DA trigger.

Re: Revolver Gun Smith
I do not have a gunsmith recommendation but this is something you could do yourself if you are inclined. I have had good results with changing out springs with lighter versions by Wolf. I have also stoned all of the internal parts that rub together. I DID NOT touch the sear/trigger/hammer parts where they mate together but just things like pivot points and rub points. There is a video on YouTube that walked me through it and it was pretty simple.

Re: Revolver Gun Smith
Proper revolver trigger job not only lightens the pull (and smoothness) but also removes friction on components for a better smoother trigger return. This way you can use lowest trigger return springs and still have a fast consistent return. Doing that while not messing up timing is where experience comes in. In a revolver polishing pins, holes and pivot points does nothing but introduce slack
Youtube videos give a good start and OK job. Nothing wrong with that. Excellent job, however, takes a lot of time and several cuts not shown in the videos (as they don't want you to mess up the pistol and blame them).

I prefer the Wilson or Jerry Miculek spring kits to the Wolf.

I did a couple M14s in years past. I have the Jerry Miculek video for working on the action which is very easy to follow, it made a great difference in smoothing the DA. I've great results using Wolff power rib mainspring and their rebound spring kits. A good gunsmith can certainly lighten and smooth the action further but found doing it myself provided very good results.

My brother is searching for a gunsmith to lighten the trigger on his new Colt Python. Any suggestions? He doesn't like my idea, of shooting it as-is for a while, so he hasn't yet shot the gun at all with live ammo.

I live in Cranford, Ironically the former home town of Austin Belhert. Belhert did amazing trigger jobs. No too far from Paramus.Tripscape wrote:Proper revolver trigger job not only lightens the pull (and smoothness) but also removes friction on components for a better smoother trigger return.
