RUGER SP101 TRIGGER

[JeffPDX]

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

The worst is debris in the trigger return spring channel. It will make the trigger gritty and inconsistent. If you have the skills and tools, I would recommend cleaning the channel and polishing with 400-600 grit emery cloth. Inspect the other pieces for burrs before reassembling.

It is definitely the springs. My Sp101, 357 had a horrible trigger pull. Ruger forums talk about the triggers and Wolf Springs as the solution. Worked on mine.

My method is Hoppes Dri lube over any pivot axle , moving part then hit it with lots of CLP to "drive" the Teflon in (these are gunsmithing terms).
Turn it upside down on a blue towel or two and let it drain, for a week or 20 min.
