Thanks everyone for your help!

I really appreciate it!

Soccerdad1995 ,

I bought this revolver a bit before getting my first CHL (many, many moons ago) thinking it would be my EDC gun. I wanted a spur-less for smooth extraction out of a holster, that is, it wouldn't get caught on clothing. At the time of purchase, I didn't think about it's limited ammo capacity or weight...though not a rookie to firearms, my overall handgun knowledge at that time was limited...

Now, I rather wish I'd not purchased the spur-less model. I'd now prefer a standard hammer I could pull back. And, as time passed and my handgun knowledge evolved, I found I wouldn't carry it as an EDC as I passed through a couple of semi-autos of various calibers and eventually found my EDC to be a Glock 19. The SP 101 is now a house gun. A 5 round revolver doesn't have the capacity I like...but it has a place in the rotation. It's quite a beautiful piece of equipment and isn't to be sniffed at, but I recognize it's a limited capacity firearm...

At one point, I changed out the grips for Hogue nylon monogrips which are far superior to the factory grips it came with and are quite inexpensive too. $20.00 or so.

All of that aside, I'd like the trigger pull weight reduced and if that's only to 8 lbs that'll be better than it currently is...unless it's going to cost an arm an a leg, in which case I'll live with it as is...

Alas, doing it myself, nah.

I can do a few minor things and have, most recently, removing the rear sight from my Browning Buckmark, then installing a Tactical Solutions Picatinny Rail, after which I mounted a Red Dot Sight, then zeroing to great effect, and other minor efforts, but fine tuning a trigger is beyond my ability unless someone far more knowledgeable than me is looking over my shoulder giving me directions.

Thanks all!

I neglected to mention this is a spurless hammer model, so it's strictly DA only.

I have a Ruger SP 101 in .357 magnum.

While I don't have any problem pulling the trigger, my wife does.

I've no clue what it's trigger pull weight is, but I'm going to guess +12 lbs.

Can a good gun smith lower it to say 3.5 lbs or slightly less or is there a threshold a revolver simply can be lowered...?

Thanks!

P.S. Is doing such a thing a major undertaking for a gun smith thus requiring a big buck expenditure or is it a simple uncomplicated undertaking?
