I have written an article about working on the triggers in Smith & Wesson revolvers. It is not a tutorial about how to change springs and stone parts. Instead, it covers general concepts about working on revolvers.
The article is posted on my blog here:
Improving the trigger on Smith & Wesson Revolvers
The article was inspired by the questions that people ask when they find out that I like revolvers. Many of those questions are about trigger jobs and spring kits. When I answer the questions, I always have to explain a lot of background information, so I decided to organize that information in one place.
As I started to outline the important concepts, the article grew quite long, so maybe it should really be called a whitepaper or an ebook. But I think it is all information that will help anyone who wants a better trigger, and who is considering doing that work themselves.
A few of the topics covered are:
I would appreciate feedback on this article. I am particularly interested in thoughts from people who are just starting to work on revolvers, since that is the target audience. And I would also appreciate feedback from experienced people about the overall quality of the information. Thank you.

A few of the topics covered are:
- What is a "good" trigger?
- How should you insure that duty guns are reliable?
- What is the relationship between the important springs in a revolver?
- What are common causes of misfires?
