Who makes the smoothest da revolver trigger pull

[mikegideon]

Colt snake guns are nice BUT they are not made any more, I believe the OP asked about who MAKES the nicest DA's right now, which comes hands down to SW performance center, or specialty revolvers. And if you are willing to drop a huge chunk of cash at a revolver, try a Freedom Arms one they are exceptionally made, not sure about their trigger pull though

You're right. The LCR is really nice if you want a DAO revolver. I'm an old fart, so I like DA/SA. The LCR is probably smoother than the DA pull on my 637, but the 637 smokes it in SA mode.

I fondled a bunch of revolvers when I bought the 637. The LCR wasn't out yet, but the S&W was simply the tightest out of all the ones I've handled.

I've owned several S&W revolvers, but moved to Autos in the '70's. All my handguns are autos except for the 637.

I know and have heard of pistols that were revolvers with very low trigger pulls in both doa and sa. How is this accomplished? I know a fella that has a s&W 357 that has a hair pin trigger on it. If you so much as breath wrong it goes bang. How is that accomplished?

[mikegideon]

I put a reduced power spring kit in mine. That improved things some, especially the SA pull, but that's as far as I'm willing to go. If I was going to go for a fully tweaked action, I would send it to a reputable action guy.

For me, it's not a priority. My autos are the priority

[Alpha7]

Yeah,

Or I could just fork over the money for an LCR dang it. I dont know. Im scurt I wont have the money for the LCR.

Colt may not make them anymore, but there are still Colts to be had. So hands down it's still a Colt straight out of the box.

I vote for Dan Wesson. My 15-2V6 .357 is sweet! And you can still find 'em for less than some others mentioned here.

Alas, they're out of the revolver business.

Colts ,their triggers are the smoothest

I've never fired a Dan Wesson, but I have a friend of mine that has a SS .357 mag. He put a 6 in barrel on it and then he and another friend had a shoot off with the other guy's Colt Python. Each taking a turn with both pistols. The Dan Wesson which he bought at the time for $350 out shot the Python for both of them. Dan Wesson made a fantastic revolver! Sad to see that they are no longer made.

+100 for my Dan Wesson Revoler 15-2V-2" - 15"

With enough work and know how any revolver can be made slick as butter....well maybe not an old Nagat or Webly, but you get the drift.

Give me 20 minutes with any S&W or Ruger and one would be surprised how nice they can be slicked up.

MK19, I think you hit the nail, so to speak. In the MC, we pilots carried the SW .38 Secial, or the Colt .38 Spec.. I would take the SW any day.

I owned a 38 Special, purchased at a Sheriff's auction many years ago, and it had the best trigger pull I have ever experienced. DA was smooth all the way to release, and SA was a dream.

Just thinking, but can the fact that a gun is blued have any effect on the trigger? I do not think that the gun is blued after assembly, but the blued guns seem to have a better pull.

s&w and/or colt.

[Guest Ae-35]

I don't think that had as much to do with it, as about the time smith came out with the SS guns is when they stopped putting in as much hand work on the actions. A blued gun made in the 60s or eariler will almost always have a smoother action as one made later, no matter the finish.

[Guest Curmudgeon]

For a factory stock gun, especially a snubbie, it's hard to beat the trigger on the Ruger LCR.
