I'd like to improve the trigger on my Ruger GP100. What's the best way? Any pointers? Drop-in parts? Thanks! |

Wolf springs. There are a set of lower pressure springs available. They make a BIG difference. While you are replacing the springs, look at the moving parts and at least clean up if not polish those which ride on each other (leave the sear alone though ...). A new set of springs and some careful smoothing/polishing and mine is really smooth now. I replaced the hammer spring as well as the trigger return spring - it makes a big difference, but it can be a bit light now on HARD primers -- never had any problems with commercial ammo, but some people's reloads have issues depending upon which primers they use. |
| I had a GP100 that Louis Ciamillo did some work on several years ago. I would describe it as a world class trigger job. He's one of the best there is when it comes to Ruger's, and he's in Augusta. You might want to give him a call and see if he's still working his majic on the wheelguns. |

I've owned several GP100's over the years. Especially when you buy them new, they tend to have very rough triggers. At the factory there is little love put into the triggers. The good news is, you don't have to put money into the action. A Wolf spring is a good idea, but other than that the triggers improve greatly just with use. Shoot it A LOT, and they get pretty smooth. The manual says it's fine to dry fire a GP100, and I always do...a lot. You can use snap-caps if you're concerned about it. |
