Many, if not most, revolvers leave the factory these days with what can charitably be called a less than satisfactory trigger pull. The typical factory trigger consists of a gritty feeling pull with excessive weight. Trying to shoot a three pound sixgun with a seven pound trigger pull is not conducive to accurate shooting. Add to that a rough feeling sear engagement, and hitting the target becomes more luck than skill.
It is however, easy to understand why any gun manufacturer would want a trigger that could in no way be released by accident.

However, a rough, gritty trigger is never acceptable. The usual solution is to send the gun to a competent gunsmith, along with a good sum of cash, and in a few weeks you will have a sixgun with a trigger pull that is as smooth as silk and as crisp as that new C-note that you gave to the gunsmith.
While the money spent on such a good trigger job is well worth the cost. There are many shooters, myself included, who would rather dispense with the added cost and time delay, and just get to enjoy the new revolver. For those, there is a much simpler and cheaper solution. It's what I call a 'Poor Boy's Trigger Job', hence the title of this article.
