I have the same grips on my 638 and some slightly different on my 586 Lcomp! Love Altamont [emoji106]

Check out @butchers_custom_leather on Instagram.

I use Golden Saber. Haven’t had any issues. And that’s in my 586 that I carry.

When I took my gp100 apart to trade out springs and polish internals I was shocked to find that the trigger return spring and cylinder were rusted. No wonder it was so gritty! This was essentially on a “brand new” gun.

586 L comp is the way to go! 7 shot, ported, cut for moon clips, and performance center tuned. (Mind you I just polished internals and changed springs on mine for an even better trigger)

Nope. That doesn’t actually show how the spring sits in the trigger and hooks up with the hand. The link that gnystrom shared is a very useful picture!

I’m wondering about that too. Range day will most likely be Monday. So, I’ll have a variety of ammo and just make sure everything is working. I did a similar job on a ruger gp100 and it has ran flawless with a 6-7lb pull.

That link would’ve saved me a good 2+hrs of frustration lol. But eventually I saw that cutout and put it together. I tried to keep the stock sights and just paint the ramp red with that worthless night dot. Hated it so I picked up the mepro 3 dot. Pretty easy to install. I will say that the...

And this is why I just do everything myself. Lol

Yup, my experience with the Lyman gauge is to have a slow steady pull and to keep the roller on the middle of the trigger. Riding the roller low results in low skewed readings. I also will put the gun in a vise to remove the variable of my other hand.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to look in to that. I did see midway’s video and Jerry’s video along with a slew of others. She’s all back together and functioning smoothly. Double action is pulling an average of 61/2-7lbs and single action is pulling a very crisp 11/2-2lbs. My...

I used to be pretty intimidated by doing any kind of work on a gun. So I started with a glock. I said hey at worst I completely screw up a gun and lose a few hundred, but learn a lot. So now I just tear into them and start doing some work. Here’s my 586 This is with an iwb holster that I...

Lol! I enjoy doing the work, and as I tell my wife the more money I save by doing the work myself the more money I have to spend on guns!

Thanks for the direction. Actually shortly after posting this I figured it out. I definitely was pulling hairs last night. I didn’t see that there was a seat for the spring inside of the trigger. Makes a world of difference once I connected those dots!!

Hi, new to the forum and somewhat new to revolvers. I’m a do it yourself kinda guy and recently took apart my 586 L comp to fine tune the trigger. While disassembling it I pulled the hand off of the trigger. Then I realized there was a spring keeping it in place. Now I have no idea how that...
