papaschmudNeed smith for Bisley
Just curious if any of you have had good luck with a certain 'smith for trigger work on Ruger revolvers? I have a new Bisley the trigger on which is just grotesque

. I would like to be able to access the gun's potential. Any suggestions as to the best person for this work would be welcome.

KevinNYDavid Clements does wonderful work on Ruger revolvers, he built me one with an express ramp front sight that was a work of art and his prices are not unreasonable. Do a google search, he has a website with a forum where you can ask him questions.

savageshooterI don't know what Ruger's customer service is like, but if you have a single-action Ruger with a poor trigger, then I'ld have to say it's defective. These guns normally have a pretty decent trigger out-of-the-box.

ShondorPPapa,
Like said, the bisley generally has a decent trigger from Ruger. The trick mostly done is a set of wolff springs. Once you install the 17# mainspring, and the new trigger spring, and a stiffer base pin spring.... well you won't need to spend more on a gunsmiths rework. 6 rugers later and I am glad I only paid for the first one to be worked on by a WELL known gunsmith in Illinois. Brownells sells them RSA106 pro-spring kit,#080-665-106
www.brownells.com Best $25 you'll spend.

papaschmudJust ended puting the Bisley back together. I did end up going with the spring kit, and while it helped, I did need to remove some burrs from the engagement surfaces. These were undoubtedly causing the unually bad level of creep. As it stands, it still can't compete with an S&W out of the box, but it's far better than it was. The lighter springs seem to make the perceptable movement less egregious.
Thanks for all replies.
