strain screw shim

[zeke]

As a S&W armorer, I am very familiar with all of the gimmicks used to mess up a perfectly good trigger action.

A good action job does not need reduced springs, backed out screws, or any of the other stuff that is done without thought to reliability or function.

Polishing three or four areas to reduce friction is really all that is necessary.

A smooth pull is what should be the goal.

As i age out with a combined connective tissue disorder, am going to keep shooting several favored revolvers as long as possible. Strengthening my grip no longer keeps up. Have settled on a 8 lb da / 4 lb sa combination for now.

By using an in place shim, the revolver is more easily returned to oem value by who ever is cleaning up, if they care to bother.

But will likely resort to increasing friction on the screw, if can't find any shims. The finger nail polish sounds good.

Usually am not bothering to explain reason why, as it wasn't part of the original question.

Clear nail polish works well for that purpose, paint it on the threads and let it dry first. It will keep the screw in place, but it will be stiff to turn but adjustable.

tried this, only used some primer sealant. Several coats on prepped male/female threads. Let dry then assembled. So far it's held after 150 close to full power rounds.

Thanks, it be sincerely appreciated!

Coat the screw with blue or purple Loctite after cleaning with solvent. Coat the threads on the frame with Loctite. Screw together, mop up the excess with a paper towel and Q tips. After it sets, you can adjust it and it will stay where you put it.

I’ve used this with several of my range/target guns and it works great .
