Ruger SP 101, will trigger smooth out?

Some very "heavy" posts in this thread; sad that no one "upstairs" who might do something about the SP, will. Hard to understand that my Wiley Clapp GP100 can have such a good trigger, or is my gun an anomaly (Star Trek word ;))?

I remember when the SP first appeared: the problem back then was a weak trigger return. I spoke to 2 NYPD officers using SPs as their off-duty gun: they mentioned having to consciously allow the trigger to return forward. That problem has been cleared up, but I wonder if that may have something to do with the gun's present action malaise.

Put some moly paste on the metal to metal contact moving parts. You will see the difference right away. Trust me.
 
101

Recently purchased a SP101 in .327 mag. The trigger pull on it is heavy, to say the least.
My hope is to make this my EDC, eventually.
For those of you have one, does the trigger get better with use? Or is it going to have to have some work?

I don't own one, but I have researched the Ruger SP101 357 for a couple of weeks. I watched a guy on you tube that had a I think Wolff spring and washer kit for his SP101. It should work for the your 327. Just go to google or you tube and type in ruger sp101 trigger job
 
I trust you bigbill. i trust you. Especially since you are from North
America.lol

I used to own a Gp100 Match Champion which had about the best factory DA trigger I've felt in a Ruger. From my research, I found that Ruger tumble polish's some of the MC's internals before (rather than individually at ) assembly. I'm betting they do the same in the Wiley Clap models. Not quite a trigger job but a whole lot better than standard issue!
