Smoothing the side of a trigger on a Bisley

Hey guys, not something we normally cover here, mostly because it involves a revolver (am I allowed to say that on here? Wink )

I've got a Ruger Bisley in 45L.C. When shooting it the right edge of the trigger (I shoot right handed) is too sharp for my liking, if I were to shoot it a lot (haven't been to the range in months) it would irritate the s*&# out of me.

I was wonder, is there any reason I can't disassemble, stone that smooth, rust blue it and then reassemble? Anything to watch for? other problems.....????

Thanks.

Assuming you can "take it apart and put it back together" there is no reason not to do it.

Many times I would "grind" off the grooves on the trigger of a S&W double action.

My original Colt Bisley in 32-20 had a very round trigger in both directions. It was a very pronounced curve within the trigger guard and the face of the trigger was very rounded. I see no reason at all to removing the trigger and rounding as much as you want. I don't even reblue just leave highly polished. I have SEVERAL S & W's done so.

My Bisley did the same thing. I dissassembled it, and used a piece of emery cloth in a "shoeshine" motion on the sides of the trigger. Did wonders! I cold blued mine...not the best looking trigger, but it is a hunting revolver.
