Smooth...since those are on the revolvers I shoot the best with...

I agree with Andy. Does that mean we're smooth moderators?

If it's a self defense revolver, smooth.

Strictly a range or target gun, I prefer serrated, just has a better feel for those slower shots…

Can I be the different guy and say I like checkered triggers? Serrated triggers do nothing for me positive or negative compared to a smooth trigger but I sure do love the aggressive grippiness a checkered trigger provides. Granted, I have no revolvers in my safe equipped with one...

FYI-

Only them boys with soft hands would even notice….

I agree. I like a serrated trigger on my SA semi autos. The checkered version @TTSX mentioned sounds interesting.

Gotta be 85 or 86! Damn, those were some good summers! Girls, beer, drag cars and 4x4s.

Yep…. '84-'85ish, still relevant and popular into '88ish, I'd say.

And at 65, she's still a looker, good genetics on that one.

I prefer smooth. No fancy reason. It's just what my old colts have and I like it. Particularly if the triggers are radiused dramatically.

All of mine are smooth, not even sure if I've ever shot a revolver w/ a serrated trigger, so I might be missing something...LOL.

You probably have but didn't notice. In my experience, it just isn't a factor. Not missing out on much at all.

It depends on the revolver.

Meaning....I prefer, a serrated trigger on my S&W D/A revolvers, While I like a smooth trigger on my SAA (yeah, that skinny thing).

Aloha, Mark

Smooth...and on my 1911's too. Any type of rough trigger usually ends up giving me a blister when I'm shooting higher round counts.

I'm very delicate, ya know.

Older blued Smith and Wesson's with wide target triggers are serrated.

Nice.
After I'd posted I was thinking about the TH/TT and thought the trigger was serrated. It's been a while since I owned one.

I prefer serrated, but most I have are smooth and it's not worth swapping triggers out over, except on an EDC or most common hunting sidearm.

I find it helps finger placement for a more consistent pull, but it's not "that" big of a deal. My hunting sidearm is probably the one I most appreciate the serrated. When wearing gloves, which may be somewhat wet or a bit stiff from the cold the extra bit of grip is nice.

I have a bunch of smooth and serrated triggers.
The calluses on my fingers are so thick that I cannot tell the difference.
