HomeSmith Tuneup: Pushover
Today's project is a Model 66-1 with a bad case of push off, a messed up trigger job, and a damaged rear sight.
Project Name: Pushover
My FFL brought this one out to show me when I stopped by to pick up another 4" Pre-24 and a 6" 624 from a recent auction. He had purchased this 66-1 for himself online and was unhappy with the trigger. The way he described it was "super super light single action and a double action pull that was complete......" well, I can't put that word here, but you get the idea.
After verifying that it was clear and that the double action pull really was horrible, I cocked the hammer, removed my finger from the trigger guard, and pushed on the hammer with my thumb. Down it went. Classic pushoff. We talked a bit and it ended up coming home with me.
With my emotional support llama standing by and Mr. Kuhnhausen ready to help if needed, it was time to jump in.
