Good day everyone . I recently bought a GP-100 and have since polished all the inner trigger parts and changed the hammer and trigger return springs as well as shimmed the hammer . This has REALLY smoothed out the double action pull and reduced it from well over 11lbs to 8.5lbs . I'm very happy with that aspect of the work .
However I now have what I consider quite a bit of trigger creep when pulling the trigger on single action pulls . Before the work there was creep but I think it hung up enough to feel like a crisper break at a heavier weight . Now that the mating surfaces have been smoothed just a tad , I did not do much to the hammer seer . Just a couple swipes of 600 grit and a few of 1000 grit . Now when pulling real slow I can feel the trigger move well before the hammer falls . In fact I can pull the trigger , feel it move and stop and the gun does not fire . If I had to put a number on it I'd say the trigger can move at least .005 and maybe as much as .008 before the hammer releases .
I know the GP-100 is not known for it's great rigger but I have to assume there is something that can be done . I think I know what will reduce that pull but I feel I'd sand/grind/file through the hardened part of the hammer seer . This also seem like it is above my pay grade and I don't have a problem taking it to a gunsmith or send it back to Ruger . Although if I send it to Ruger my warranty will likely be voided because of the polishing and spring replacements I've done .
I'm looking to understand what's needed to be done in order to know what type of work to expect and know how to explain to whom ever does the work what I want .
Thanks ahead of time
