One of my babies is 1993 birthdate and has a serrated trigger surface, while his brother is a 2003 gun and has a smooth trigger. Is one an aftermarket trigger? Both are stainless 7.5 adjustable sight models (and both are beautiful I should add). Thanks, Don.
 
Nah, Ruger made a change and dropped the serrated trigger.

This pair's triggers are different, just like your pair. :D

Don,
I assume they are both wide triggers? Which do you prefer? If you like the smooth better, you can grind and polish the ridges off of the grooved one.

If you like the grooved one, there's lot'sa sources for obsolete Ruger parts.

The worse case scenario is to find a set of transfer bar conversion parts from a 3 screw Super Blk Hk; they have the wide triggers. A lot have been removed by people restoring Rugers back to the way they should be. You can find them cheap at gun shows or on-line. They will all be blue but strip the blue off with naval jelly or polish it off, remove the transfor bar extension with a hacksaw and file off the bump where the return spring plunger contacts the back of the trigger.

Check the trigger sear fit in your hammer notches; usually fine though, and voila, you have a grooved trigger that looks like stainless that fits your gun.
Hope that helps,
 
Thanks for the information everyone. I don't mind the difference in the two, as they are both beautiful pieces. But It's good to know my options. Don
