Bought a SP101 in the mid 90's. Very heavy trigger DA, livable in SA. Dry firing and springs didn't do much to help. Finally gave it to a professional gunsmith that got it "not bad". That SP101 lived in a couple trucks for 15 years or so. Got interested in revolvers again a few years ago when a friend let me shoot his 686. I asked what trigger work he'd done to it for such a nice trigger. Told me all he did was a lighter trigger rebound spring. I sold the SP101 and bought a 686. That 686 has of course led to buying more S&W revolvers!
I have nothing against Ruger firearms and own more than a few. I just couldn't see owning one of their revolvers with a heavy trigger that couldn't be improved. Now a couple gun shows ago I picked up a special edition GP100 and had to ask the vendor if this was the factory trigger. It had a butter smooth, light DA trigger that rivaled any of my S&W's. Has Ruger improved their triggers? Would be nice if they have.
