While on vacation, i happened across a nice local gun store (out of state) that had a pretty big selection of s&w revolvers.
i was shocked at how inconsistent the triggers were... some basic 686s were very smooth and light, others not.
even in the PC (performance center) guns, a few were very smooth, while others werent - some felt really heavy, but generally still smooth.
overall they were mostly smooth - about 3 werent - but many felt very heavy, like EAA windicator type heavy, or old-unfired-ruger heavy.
Other people noticing this as well?
For my money, i know that i can get a ruger trigger to smooth out quite well, i guess i was a bit shocked that SO many (about 9 out of 12 revolvers) from s&w were NOT smoother/lighter.
12 guns is not a big sample size statistically, i understand, but if I'm going to pay for a s&w it has to be equal/better than the taurus fron the "cheap cabinet"
