RUGER SP101 TRIGGER

[bbbass]

I use Aeroshell 6, it is what Geissele use to ship with their triggers before the ALG Go Juice purple goo currently in use. A tube will last about ten lifetimes worth triggers.

Brown... is it petroleum based?

Put some grease at the connection points on the trigger, trigger link, pawl, hammer and transfer bar then do some dry firing.

Maybe is is just your finger. Next time you and Rosie head down to Palm Springs, don't leave her sister behind.

Doesn't it strengthen the finger/hand muscles? That's what I always told myself... just exercise ya know...

All kinds of muscles get exorcised!

Will Slip2000 work? I have a jar of that for my sig.

Also, can I replace the hammer spring but leave the trigger spring?

Mine doesn't have burrs yet, thankfully.

It is mineral oil based with a Microgel inorganic thickener

I should offer the same advice to my GF, since she seems to have more problems with it than I do!

Slip2000 is more of a oil than grease. The thing about grease is it will stick in place like glue while oil will run away. I would forego changing spring until after trying the grease and dry fire routine, but that is me and I tend not replace parts unless the are worn or broken.

Slip2000 is a brand, which product are you referring to?

EWG

And it can be used for constipation... perfect for sluggish triggers!

I read it as ELW, thought looking back I could be wrong.

ETA: meant EWL, I can't type worth crap either. EWG would be fine

 

[bbbass]

My gun grease preference is Tetra Fluoropolymer. I use it for the trigger somponents of my Glocks. It doesn't attract dust, does not change or break down in heat or cold, and is virtually permanent once applied. Once it coats the surface, it binds with the metal for a super slick result. However, in the closed section of a revolver trigger, not sure it would make a difference.

 

[bbbass]

EWG looks good. Says no PTFE additives... what's up with that? Problems?

 

[oa98pistol512]

I have pulled the trigger group out, but not disassembled that. It looked spotless when I looked tho.

mine had a slight burr on the sear...That is how I got in to the spring part myself

You can use the hammer spring and not the trigger return spring. The burrs usually hide themselves deep in the internals of the workings. Have you disassembled the revolver and looked of them?

I have not taken apart the trigger assembley, only removed it and stripped it down to that point. Would they be deeper?

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Yes, i prefer EWG for grease. If you wanted an oil in there, i would stick to the EWL30 but i actually prefer Seal1 inside that area.

If I want a good oil, I usually use M-Pro7, but I'll probably get something different since M-Pro 7 seems to have nearly doubled in price.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

I like MPro7 stuff a lot, but i don't consider their strength to be their oils, it just seems to be an also ran. I stick to their cleaner and use Slip2000 stuff for stuff that needs oil and grease, and my general protectant and lube is Seal1.
