I bought the HP maybe ten years ago so I don't know if it came from the factory with such a trigger, or if decades of shooting smoothed it out, or if somewhere along the line an ace pistolsmith did an action job on it.
I have never handled, dry fired, or live fired an RM, but I can't imagine how its trigger could be better than the one on my lowly HP. Now if I can just keep from getting kicked out of the forum for having the audacity to compare an HP to an RM.  |
The HP is the M27. Its basically the less expensive version without the checkering and high polished blue.
As for comparing it to the RM, I think you would be very surprised. The pre war stuff is just on another level, especially the RM.
I love post war S&W's too and own more of those than I do pre war. However, it is what it is.
The only revolvers I own that measure up to the smoothest of my RM’s are a couple vintage Korth Combats.
