Trigger jon on S&W 5906
- Thread starter js_nj
- Start date
Try using Tetra grease on the innards first. Hammer group, trigger group, etc. Use a small amount and make sure it coats and adheres to the parts in question. The idea is to eliminate the friction caused by the metal parts rubbing together.
A 4 oz. tube runs less than $4, and will last for a while.
It might not be as exclusive and pricey as a "trick" action job, but it will assuredly improve the feel of your 5906.

no "trick to it. send it to Cylinder and Slide. they are masters of the S&W semiauto trigger. my 4006 sports one of the best triggers now i have ever shot. my only beef is the amount of take up in the single action mode but that is the nature of the beast. double action it is smooth and drag free better than my Kahr!! single action it has some take up as noted but when you reach the sear it is crisp and without grit or undue weight. trigger reset is fast and positive.
they are pricey but it will beat the heck out of a tube of grease if that don't work.

The man that can keep his head and aims carefully when the situation has gone bad and lead is flying usually wins the fight.

Teddy Jacobson does excellent trigger work. He performed his magic on a 4013TSW for me.

I agree, a fine tuned action beats the hell out of a "tube of grease" any day, with any weapon. I will admit that my 5906 could undoubtedly be "smoothed" out by the guys over at King's or Cylinder and Slide.
I decided to break in my firearm first, put some rounds through it. A couple thousand rounds and lots of dry firing later, the double action is smooth and even, and the single action feels crisp. Great short reset too.
Perhaps I got lucky and picked a "good one"!
Riddleofsteel, how much did the work cost? What was the time frame?

I sent my 5906 in to S&W along with a 686 I was having some work done on. I knew the 686 was going to cost me some money, and sent the 5906 along with a note saying the trigger had sucked since I bought it new (which it did). They said they would look at it and charge a nominal fee. To my surprise, when I got it back, they had slicked it up and not charged me for it. I'm not suggesting this is normal practice, and I did spend a couple of hundred bucks on the 686, but I thought it was nice nonetheless. I had a great experience with S&W, which makes it all the more painful to say I will never spend another red cent with them or any of their products, even used. If I could afford to, I would send the four S&W handguns I own back to them and tell them I don't even want to own any of their products. Since I'm not independently wealthy, my indignation won't extend that far.
