I know bupkis about Rugers but I can't imagine buying a new S&W and not getting a trigger job."<BR/><BR/>Ruger tends to use heavy springs throughout their actions; look at the primers after shooting them in a Ruger, and you can see that the firing pin whomps the bejesus out of it. It is like they are afraid it might misfire. You can sometimes replace the spring, or just do some light polishing inside with a Dremel and a buffing wheel. I have several Rugers, and have no real complaints about them.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-1155524137118997022006-08-13T22:55:00.000-04:002006-08-13T22:55:00.000-04:00That's an interesting experiment.

Might have to put tape on the cylinder first to keep from getting a turn ring.<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I agree. People talk about S&Ws having a trigger pull that's so much better than Rugers.
