Ruger SP101 & Trigger Shims

[dbla]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at getting a Ruger SP101 and I was wondering if any of you guys have any expierence with this gun and the trigger shim kits from triggersshims.com just curious if they're worth the time to install and what I can expect out of performance once installed. Thanks for the info in advance guys!

I think a good fluff and buff is about all a Ruger DA revolver needs. The above link is a good place to start.

I have used Power Custom shims on S&W DA revolvers to good effect but have some doubts as to the level of improvement shims may make in the Ruger.

Now that I have seen the shims I would do the action job specified in the above link then try the shims. Why not?

I used them on mine. Along with springs, amazing.

On the 10/22 and even the S&W revolvers I can see why a shim kit would work wonders. Even the single action rugers can benefit.

But the design of the all the DA rugers really can't benefit in the same way. there may be a slight difference in a shimmed trigger pivot, but there really isn't anything else in there aside from a quality debur, polish, and spring reduction that can be done. If you do it right they can be butter...right up there wiith the smiths. Secret is getting that spring tunnel free of burrs.

Word of advice....the first go round I suggest taking the trigger group apart in a 1 gallon bag. there is a spring that is prone to launching and this will make your life easier if it flies. use a kitchen fork and a vice to get the hammer spring off.

Okay cool, well the fluff and buff will be my project next week then. Thanks for the responses!

I've used the wolff spring kit's and like what I've read about the shim's in this forum thread, somehow i foresee a bit of tweaking on my wife's SP-101 or a GP100 3"fixed barrel being added to my want list...
