Posted earlier on today's(yesterdays) trip to a gun type store and was really looking for something for the wife (>45 and .44 are to big and the .22 to small) so we discussed it and came with a couple of options came home told her the prices and wound up turning up her O2 machine, Then I got on line and found a SP101 for $350.00 HAPPY DAYS. She say first thing I have to do is a trigger job for her . I wonder if she means for free?

I recall on one of the podcasts Michael said he had trigger jobs done on a few of his Rugers maybe he'll see this and give you an estimate. It won't be for free but I'm sure it won't be devastating to your wallet.

Yep its a good day when shes happy I'm happy. And thats all I going to say about that.

Oh I didn't know that, very cool. :)

Make her pay. They always seem to find a way to make us pay for everything they give us, if you know what I mean. ;)

Its not that hard to do (the trigger job that is) mostly jus t polishing of the internal surfaces until they look like chrome and add a spring kit. If you have a drill press you even Jewel the trigger and hammer but you have to make sure the inside of the frame is polished as well and that can be a bear . But I like doing the work.

Do you use a stone, file or something like "scothbrite" or emory cloth ? What grit?

400 Grit sand paper. WATCH THOSE SRINGS THEY GO ZOOOOOM! REALLY FAST! When you are ready to remove the hand put a rag over it and that will catch it. If you want the whole low down I'll send you some more detailed instructions. its kinda hard to send the IBOK, that's the way hes got it set so I found out after trying to send it to Jaybeth a few times ,but I found out if you join rugerfourm.com you still might be able to get it. Hell if I get this printer going I will print you a copy and just send it to you. I just got into doing Ruger revolvers but I have done a lot of work on 1911's. Rugers are a lot easier.

Rugers are EASIER, WOW !I was really more curiuos than actually thinking of doing one yet, Maybe once I've got a second pistol I'll try doing one on my .45 (that way if I mess it up I have a carry gun till the replacement parts arrive ;D )

Triggers on a 1911 are not that difficult usea 6"Xi1" inda stone you can get one from bronells for about $20.00. Just work the stone across the sears of the hammer and sear maintianing the the angles cleam them off and put it back together and try it . Just remeber nice and slow . You may have to repeat this a few times to get it right. Best book on 1911's is by Jerry Kuhnhausen that you also can get from Bronells.

When I'm ready I'll take the parts to work and tak a pass or two each night with a Ruby stone under a microscope, this is how I do ALL my deburring at work and things seem MUCH easier at 20 X ;D
