Hello to all:
My respects go out to all who enjoy, own, and shoot Smith products!
Having said that and speaking with the utmost confidence that I can ask an honest question about my little J and get an honest answer, I proceed.
My first purchase was a Ruger LCR 357. I learned to shoot with it. I can hit very well for an old man who came to the game late. No tack driver mind you but the old man does well indeed.
I ran across this Smith Model 360pd for a "song" at my local pawn emporium. See my other posts. I could not pass it up.
The problem was, it is eating my lunch with the very, very strong trigger pull!!!!!
Now what am I to do? I want that buttery smooth Ruger LCR trigger. I know! I know! It is not a Ruger. But what do I need to do to get there.
I am a bit disappointed that this little J lists for $1019 on the Smith page and has to have this type of attention. Maybe I am expecting too much or maybe I do not understand the ethos of the Smith brand.
I have but two choices as I see it:
One, have a "trigger job" done on the gun.
Two, put snap caps in it and pull the trigger 1000s of times.
I guess there is a third option. I could sell it or trade it for the Ruger.
But I really like it and want to carry it as a EDC. One thing I found when I started carrying-everything is a trade off when messing with guns!!! Is is not??
Any feedback welcome.
