i have still yet to watch a larry potterfield video when he was misleading anybody and just flat out wasnt worth watching larry ur awsome

[The45Shooter]

Skip the cold blue. I have done many triggers like this. I polish to mirror though. I go through several grits of emery cloth then move on to a polishing bob on the Dremmel and then on to Flitz. They all turn out great!

While you have the trigger out you should also round the edges which will aid in d/a shooting. And please don't use cold blue.

well the serrations work good at distorting trigger finger prints so ill keep mine

[zanuha]

@G4031rdclip

That was suspicious.

[dozzy000]

it doesnt show how to remove the trigger, so quite useless

[jcole60brit]

"Start by disassembling the gun, then remove the trigger." It's not a video on how to disassemble the revolver, It's a video on removing the serrations from the trigger.

@dozzy000 how could it? guns vary so much from one model to another.

What advantage does a smooth trigger give you? It is just personal preference?

[shem1911]

@Rynnakkokivaari76 Yes and no. If you are like me and shoot 150-200 rounds every session, then removing the serrations are almost necessary. They tend to bite into your finger and can actually hurt after a while. Plus they hold in sweat, lint, dirt, just about anything that will fit in there. A smooth faced trigger corrects all of the above. I have an old model 10 from the late 40's with this trigger. It has a 12lb trigger pull and after about an hour of shooting my finger is red and raw feeling

[Rynnakkokivaari76]

@shem1911 I have in the time since bought an extra trigger for my S&W M17-2 that I polished up until it was a mirror. I now use it all the time over the serrated trigger. It lacks a finish but I have access to lots of potassium nitrate so I am gonna nitre blue it.q

[Shinerbop]

Can you do this to a MIM trigger or does it have to be forged?

[dannyac]

Advice to people considering this: it's a solid, sound video, but research cold blue before you use it. It doesn't hold up sometimes. Hot bluing isn't that hard, and is a lot more durable.

Great video, though.

[shadowblack1987]

Hopefully you read this.

I was thinking cold blueing some metal parts. The thing is, they aren't made of great quality metal.

Whats your advise?

Thanks.

[porterrockwell]

Cold blue Larry, yeah that'll last.

I did this on an old N frame wide TT once, easier to just find a smooth trigger in the desired width.

Watcha think about after market detent balls on the yoke?

I really like this guy.
