OK guys, need help again.
My wife has developed a fear of her S&W . 38 revolver and flat out refuses to shoot it anymore allthough it saved her life at the gas station in Marrero (you guys probably remember that)
Anyway.... After shooting 9mm,327, 32, 380, both auto's and revolvers she finally decided the .22 LR was her ticket. Revolver. Shame on me I know but I switched the .22 with a .22mag ,she couldn't tell the diff and I felt marginally better about her choice in protection.Autos scare her, too complicated she says.My wife is big time pro-gun and loves the fact that We open carry,but is still scared of the movent of autos as well as having to "rack the slide" With revolvers she says "all I have to do is hold center mass and squeese" Some gun is better than no gun and I want Her to be comfortable with Her side arm during the dreaded "moment of truth" So 22mag it is.
Back to the point, I ordered a stainless 8 shot 22mag 2in barrel taurus, solid built little gun,suprisingly accurate at 25 ft, very tight. The problem is the trigger, it takes 2 men and a boy to pull the trigger, no joke. It is STIFF for Me but it's not my gun, My wife can't pull the trigger hard enough to drop the hammer and has to use both hands to cock the hammer, which defeats the purpose of simplicity in a moment of need, aside from the fact that it takes her FOREVER to accomplish this (long enough to be raped , murdered, relieved of her weapon,etc.)
My question is this, what can I do to lighten the trigger pull? Surely one of you guys knows a thing or two about revolvers. I don't want a hair trigger by any means I just want her to be able to fire her weapon should the need arise. I want to do the work Myself but don't want to screw up Her gun.
Right now Her special order, stainless ,8 shot, perfect cal. new toy is nothing more than a shiny club.
