Is there a way to get rid of the "stages" in the DA?

[Stopsign32v]

I know I've seen videos and posts on how with the GP100s you can "stage" the DA trigger pull to basically stop at the end of the trigger pull by the break.

I noticed on mine, while it's a nice trigger pull you can feel all of the stages of the pull. Is there any way to make it a smooth motion?

You would need to have the action smoothed up (and possibly modified a little bit) to get rid of the staging. Most times the "staging" is caused by the machining of the action parts, and the parts are rubbing on each other. Over time this may smooth itself out but it takes a lot of trigger pulls and even then it might not smooth itself and would need some help. Some people like it because it gives them "notice" that the hammer is ready to fall, but many (myself included) prefer a trigger pull that is a completely smooth motion until the hammer is released.

The DA stage I notice the most are in my two Colts, an old Cobra and a Commando. I have learned to use it. Draw the trigger in the first stage to cock the hammer, sharpen aim, and then fire! Not noticeable in my two Rugers. That works for me but I understand how others might want a smoother action.

I don't have a GP but I've had 4 of the Six series revolvers so far. I've found that I can stage it if I choose to or I can pull straight through. All of them have had really good actions with some being just slightly better than others but the main thing with all of them is I can only feel it stage before the hammer is about to fall and I can pull straight through and the stage is almost non-existent.

I notice the staging more with my GPs than the Six Series. They all vary and maybe it's because of use or just the machining when they were made. I prefer less staging myself.

A few of mine, like my 6 and 4 inch GP100s and a Security Six have had the triggers/hammers polished, and tuned with spring kits. The 6 inch, which I used for hunting is the smoothest but you can still feel the staging. But it is used SA most of the time. But there are time you are caught off guard by a sneaky deer and a DA shot is needed. My 4 inch GP I tuned for steel plate shooting, but haven't put it to much use. It's smooth, but you can definitely feel the staging. I'd like to get a lot more shooting and "natural" smoothing by just shooting before polishing it further. That's the only one I wouldn't mind doing away with the staging feel.

My SP 101 has a point where the hammer will actually stop (like a notch) if the trigger is pulled very slowly. It is very smooth though when pulled normally and straight through.

Our DA usually indicts then arrests.
