Hitch in trigger

[Well Armed]

I'm curious if it's normal to have a hitch in S&W triggers? By "hitch," I am referring to sort of a catch/click that's also loud and auditable (like a striker-fired reset) right before the hammer drops while shooting in DA. It's not one smooth pull, but rather, I could easily pull to the hitch and basically stage the trigger in SA before the shot, or I could pull past it. It's reminiscent of a two stage trigger.

I never paid much attention to this before until I watched the video below, and he mentioned that it's not normal or supposed to happen. I got out 4 of my S&W revolvers. The hitch is present on my 3" M60-15 and my 686+ 2.5. It's not there on my 3" 3-5-7 series 686+ or my M69 2.75" Combat Magnum. FWIW, it's not there on my Taurus M85.

Not exactly normal, but not uncommon. I only have one at the moment that does it, my 1916 .455 MKll, but I have had a couple in the past and one of them was very pronounced. I believe it was from a tightly fitted hand because the cylinder was rock solid locked in place just before the trigger pulled through it.

Thanks for the input. It's very pronounced on my 2.5" 686+ to the point that having the hammer spur is pointless because I can easily pull the trigger back and stage it in SA. I was just wondering if this was something I should have S&W fix or would cause issues later on. I guess it's not a huge issue though.

This is common in newer revolvers, shoot and dry fire the gun and when it has broken in the hitch will most likely disappear.
