Default 14-3 From Last Weekend's Show

This one came home with me from the Lexington, KY gun show last weekend. It has some cosmetic issues, but is not bad. I bought it to shoot, and I think that it will be great for that.

The single action trigger is the lightest I've ever felt. I haven't measured it(and don't have a means to do so) but I'd guess it under 2 lbs.

If the trigger is actually that light, I'd check for push off (which should always be done when buying a used revo anyway).

I'm not sure how many 14-3 Masterpieces are in my safe right now, but I can't seem to pass them up (or any other K-38 for that matter)
You did the right thing buying that one. Enjoy! They are great shooters.

Here's a few I had out in the sunshine a few weeks ago:

No push-off that I could detect.

It's hard to tell, but when I blew up your pictures, it looks like yours still has the trigger over travel stop installed behind the trigger inside the guard. If so, it was adjustable, and could be set for very minimal over travel, which will give the impression of a much lighter trigger pull than what it really is since the trigger doesn't move more than a thousandth or so after the sear trips. Reducing over travel alone can make a huge difference in how the pull feels.
