I'll admit, I did a bit of "tuning" to the springs, so it's not exactly a factory 14lb mainspring nor a standard Wolff 6.5lb trigger spring. I could have gone lighter on the trigger spring, as my "test tune" spring let me cut 2 extra coils off of the 6.5# and still reset properly, but with those 2 coils off, it was under 2lb, and my Mother-In-Law has a bit of trouble controlling her Single Action triggers under 2lbs.

Double Action is a smooth and stack free 10lb 2oz, Single Action is crisp and clean at 2lb 3oz. Pretty nice to have a great "paper trigger" for single action practice and a safe "carry trigger" in the same revolver.

Even though the action work is done on this one, I may end up redoing the rear sight to open up the rear face a bit to let in more light. I'm also working on holster patterns for it; an open carry clip, OWB pancake, and a purse concealed clip. Plus, my mother-in-law is intent on getting a laser for it as well (her LCR has one already) since this Taurus will be her nightstand gun and her "dark bedroom eyesight" ain't all it used to be.
