Review
The spring kit and instruction was very clear and reasonably priced. The result was a much smoother and lighter trigger pull.
I have installed 3 of these kits and all three have worked wonders with the SP101s they were installed in. Trigger pull was reduced, action was smoothed and the double action trigger pull was smooth and crisp without any gritty feel. Fantastic upgrade!
I ordered kit knowing the reputation of mcarbo. I wasn't disappointed. It has everything you need. Just take your time, be patient and take deep breaths. Not a hour job. By the end of the job, I had a reduction of almost 50%. They were not lying. Always a pleasure dealing with mcarbo. Keep up the great work. I have a db9mm that needs help. Possibly a kit in the future for that with a updated rod. Thank you again.
Using the Lyman digital trigger gauge.. before Kit 10.4lbs (DA.. average of 10 pulls) 4.1lbs (SA same 10 pull average) After Kit installed using all 4 trigger shims and 2 hammer shims... 6.1lbs (DA 10 pull average) and wait for it... 2.1lbs (SA 10 pull average)!!!!!! WOW!!! I followed the video to the letter (Except I did not lap the crown)... super easy.. took my time and I feel like I have a brand new custom shop ruger!!!! Now... they need to make a Taurus M627 tracer kit!!!!!
Installed the springs and hammer shims. No need or room for the trigger shims. I only did light buffing. My trigger gauge only goes to 8lbs. so I don’t know what my DA weight was, but it was HEAVY. SA was 5 lbs. my SA is now 3lbs. and DA is still over 8lbs. but much smoother and somewhat lighter. I’ll probably leave it where it is without further buffing so I can avoid light strikes. Great video instructions made the job easy. Great product and service!
This kit was SUPER easy to install - a total of about 15 minutes after watching the YouTube video by MCarbo. And as the video and the advertising promised, there was indeed about a 50% reduction in trigger pull after installation. This upgrade was well worth the price. Also, delivery within the week.
Excellent Video for the tear down and polishing components. Chris did a very good job what to which for for flying springs and shim placement.
Very satisfied with the spring/washer kit. Made a marked improvement in the trigger pull of customer's revolver and makes me feel more confident in revolver's function over manipulating existing factory springs.
I never took D/A revolver apart before, but followed the video exactly. It was a real bugger working to reinstall the trigger group - especially the pawl spring and plunger. I didn't lose it but the pawl pinched the plunger and snapped off the stem. Got another one from Midway. After assembling and reassembling the trigger group 3 or 4 times I finally got it - maybe I didn't have the trigger link plunger laying in there correctly. Anyway, it's all assembled (sans trigger shims) and the action is much smoother and went from 12-13 and 5 lbs, respectively, to 8 and 3 lbs. Very nice. Maybe someday I will again attempt to install the trigger shims, but for now I'll leave it as it is. It has made a huge difference.
The documentation and video made this job a snap. It would have gone a lot faster if I had not been searching the floor for the pawl spring four times - it is amazing how far that can travel if you lose control. The results are amazing!
I really enjoyed installing the trigger kit on my ruger sp101 357 I got the revolver from my sister who inherited it. Apparently someone had a spring kit already installed but I are had flitz and the polishing attachments for my dremel. The video was super helpful and easy to follow. The price is what really got my attention. I am going to do each of my firearm triggers that you have available. Thank you for such a being so detailed in the videos and making such a quality product. I highly recommend your products.
Very nice improvement over the factory trigger. Easy to install . Follow the instructions in the video.
Completed the installation of the Ruger SP-101 trigger kit. It improved the performance greatly. Don't have a trigger scale so not sure the final outcome but it's about half of what is was stock. The Ruger SP 101 is a nice revolver but the stock trigger definitely needs work. It still does not match the trigger on my stock S&W 681 .357 Magnum but that's OK, not many do. The video was most helpful, beats reading instructions. Written instructions are available but didn't need them. Pay attention to flying springs, had to search for mine, it was behind the frig. Service from Mcarb is great. Will purchase trigger kit for my old Ruger 10-22 in the future.
Installed this after watching video several times and my trigger is now much much better. Now it breaks in single action at 4 lbs. Double action is so much better. This is a awesome kit and made with quality items. Money well spent! Thanks Mcarbo
A couple of years ago i installed a lighter 9 lb trigger spring in this gun, hoping my wife could pull the trigger w/out using 2 fingers; 9 lbs was still too heavy a pull for her. Saw the Mcarbo video on this gun. He got the trigger pull down to under 5 lbs. After polishing and installing the kit, I could NOT get this down to under 7 lbs. I was disappointed, but the up-side is that now my wife can pull the trigger.
