Welcome to the Forum.

Target triggers (TT) are wider than standard triggers. The standard trigger is .265" wide and target triggers come in .400" and .500" widths and are serrated. You also see smooth, .312" triggers. These are sometimes referred to as combat or Ranger triggers.

Target hammers (TH) are wider than standard hammers. Most are .500".

The purpose of the wider trigger is less pressure for single action shooting. Wider hammers are easier to cock for single action shooting.

M29s and M57s came standard with both TT &TH.
