Ruger SP101 & GP100 Trigger Spring Kit - Ruger SP101 Trigger Job - M*CARBO

[@ryanmartin3925]

I ordered the kit and supplies from MCARBO to do a trigger job on my Ruger SP101 4” 357 magnum. I have no gunsmithing experience, but with this video and the great products from MCARBO, I was able make an incredible improvement in my stock firearm. The trigger pull is SOOO much better, and as an added benefit, I now know my revolver inside and out.

[@44hawk28]

I just ran across the video. I used to do these quite a bit some years ago. Only one word of caution, be very cognizant all of the accuracy, especially a double-action both before and after you do this work. I found it when I put the everspring from my kit, this was some years ago when it was a slightly different design as a security six however that part of the mechanism has not changed. I found that in double-action my groups actually got about twice as large, that was an effect of the firing pin not hitting the primers hard enough to make them ignite consistently. I ended up going back to the original Hammer, still had a dead smooth trigger, a little bit more weight, but I had actually done the work down to a 20 oz single action pull and about a six and a quarter pound electrical. But I also learned that as you're squeezing the trigger and double-action the tip of your finger will contact frame just before the fire alarm goes off. After that you can take close aim, and then squeeze off the round as if it's single-action. I was able to shoot my security 6 into a 4-inch group at a hundred yards. It was a superbly accurate Ruger. And that was on Double Action. I don't think I ever shot that firearm more than four five times and single action after I did that trigger job. As for what he's calling Birds, I don't know if he's ever seen what an actual Burr is, but I am far more burrs on Smith & Wesson is than I ever did on ruger's

[@cbroz7492]

I changed the springs onmySP101s and Speed Six...BIG difference...

[@philhicks2167]

Would you elaborate more on the accuracy you had after the change of springs. What caliber was it? I am planning on getting a sp101 in .22lr but want all the accuracy I can get out of it. Thank You for a reply.

Best gunsmithing video on KZbin. I followed along and the improvement to my SP101 is remarkable. I did manage to launch my pawl spring and plunger despite the multiple warnings but managed to find it. I was worried about primer ignition with such a light pull, no problems at all testing a hundred rounds of multiple different loads. It did make the trigger reset less forceful. Thank you for making this kit and video.

[@adams2922]

This is an EXCELLENT how-to video and I can't thank you enough for this invaluable resource. You made it fun and have a perfect presentation style. My first time doing anything like this without screwing it up royally and having to have a gunsmith bail me out. Using the MCarbo spring and trigger job kit and this video, my GP100 stainless 6" 6-shooter went from stock gritty 10lb DA, 3.5 lb SA using my analog Timney trigger gauge to 8lb DA, 2.7lb SA. But those numbers don't even begin to do the results justice. It is an understatement to say the action is buttery smooth. O. M. G.! Thank you so much for what you guys do and for serving our country and keeping me free.

[@jonschlegel2961]

Just ordered my kit and polishing kit! Even got a discount from your site, thank you. So excited to take an evening to do this! Thanks for this video. UPDATE: I followed your video and was able to do the job myself in just under 4 hours. My Gp100 was different than the one in this video because some of the details were different in the firearms, but I found a couple other videos online to help with disassembly and reassembly, but with 0 prior experience I was able to get it done! The trigger feels much smoother and overall the gun feels nicer. I’m very impressed. I used 2 shims for each of their respective pins. Didn’t have a feeler gauge I just played with it a little. Havnt taken her to the range yet, if someone comments on this I’ll update ya after I shoot it. Thanks y’all, top notch stuff!

[@HustleHabit]

So how did she shoot at the range? Was it worth installing the kit?

[@jonschlegel2961]

@@HustleHabit nice and buttery smooth. The upgrade was 110% worth it and I’d do it again in a heart beat. Just take your time installing the shims. By that point you have probably exercised a lot of your patience but as the video says, “it’s the labor of love” so enjoy it!

Just completed by M-Carbo kit install and internal polish - exactly as desribed here. I am very suprised and pleased with the quality of the kit and the results. I used Mothers polish and flushed with brake cleaner, finished off with the supplied grease and Seal-1. This kit and process resulted in a 4.8 lb trigger pull! M-Carbo just made a customer for life - highly recommend this kit!!

[@mschou]

Got this kit from a supplier in Denmark. Installed it on my Ruger GP100. Amazing difference. I hand polished everything though. Took a good amount of time. My GP100 is like a totally different revolver. Thank a bunch for the amazing video. 👍👍👍

Don't have a pull scale to check the trigger pull but I can definitely feel the difference. Very nice. Happy camper here. Love my SP101! Thank you

Just received my kit for my GP100 .357 5". Whoa what a difference! DA started out at ++10lbs, it literally maxxed out my trigger gauge! SA was @ 4lbs.

I always hated the trigger pull on my GP100, so happy to have come across this. This video is perfect and looks fun to do. Getting the kit today!!!

[@macdaddysarizonaadventures9663]

Bought the kit. Have their springs in other firearms. This was my first wheel gun action job. I could not have done it without the video. The kit and video are great. The results are night and day to SP101. The shims really helped and took out all the side to side play in the action. used all 4 on trigger and just 2 on the hammer. I do not have a gauge but am sure my D. A trigger pull went from 10 pounds and harsh down to 5 lb. range and very smooth. Of course this is favorite firearm now. Thanks guys.

[@richardevans9530]

From a gritty 9.5 to silky smooth 4.5! Amazing!

[@flinch622]

Ditch the dremel tool and try some jewlers tools - Gesswein for example. Jewelers need/use felt bobs regularly, have various polishing compounds and their equiment has better speed control - which is nice if you need minor material removal using a burr [a dremel usually creates surface speeds that are too high]. You won't go back.

[@ChonnyD]

I really appreciate this walk through! I bought the trigger kit online and followed this video step by step. I got away with using a cheap ebay dremel. Used up all the shims in the package. My SP101 feels much smoother and easier to stage! A solid company, I am glad to be supporting a small business.

[@ronaldcalderone3767]

Thank you very much for the video and products. Just finished my sp101 following your directions and It is absolutely smooth with no play in trigger or hammer. Made a world of difference.

[@earldoty8176]

Most likely the best DIY video I've ever seen. I did have a suggestion/comment about my GP100 that differed from the vid: First, there was no corresponding hole in the back strap so was unable to use a punch to depress the trigger latch pin for removal. I improvised, using a random pegboard hook with a suitable 90 degree end. Second, the hole for that plunger/spring assembly was considerably smaller than 1/4" so I used a #7 drill bit (.201") for burr removal. Then it required a #16 drill bit (.177") with one of your handy, 1.000-grit sandpaper squares wrapped around it to polish the hole. No tape was required as I pinched the sandpaper around the bit with my fingers and rotated it until the bore was smooth. Can't wait to install the trigger/spring kit in my new Ruger LCP Max!

[@davidmoran7827]

I've done 2 of these now and I love it. The double action trigger pull goes from heavy and gritty to light and smooth. You get the durability of the Ruger with a "Smith & Wesson" like trigger pull. I didn't even need to use the trigger shims on this last one because the fit was great but I used all the hammer shims. The trickiest part for me is getting the trigger assembly installed back into the body. Always lots of cussing and annoyance on my side even though you made it look easy in the video. The root cause (for anyone else stuck) for me was that in the handle, where that trigger spring assembly goes in was rough and it didn't want to seat all the way. Some people "clean that hole out a little" and others recommending tapping gently with a rubber mallet. The gentle tapping worked for me and finally got the trigger assy seated properly. If it doesn't seat all the way, your trigger won't pull all the way back.

[@Bajafreak100]

I followed the way he was showing it,and now my gun is silky smooth. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@ShipshewanaIndiana]

We recently bought the kit from the MCARBO website. Shipping was fast and we were pleased. We have installed the springs without doing any polishing and the difference is incredible! So thankful they produce this kit. I was about to dump the ruger and get a kimber because the trigger pull was horrible and I use this as my backwoods carry gun in the Upper Peninsula. The DA trigger pull is now as good or better than a stock kimber Ks6.

[@pareloader5989]

I ordered mine last night for my sp101. Just received it in the mail today. 3/9/2021. Had the gun already disassembled and polishing was done. I didn’t need to shim the trigger as I could only get .003 in there snug. I did add a .005 on each side of the hammer though. Assembly was great following the video. Trigger pull now is just under 5 lbs! Great job MCARBO!!!!! Quality product.

This video was very helpful with using the gp100 polish kit and spring/shim kit i bought from you, and your customer service was exceptional. I will admit i put the factory springs back in as i find i like the heavier pull for every day use, but just the polish and shims made it noticeably smoother and did remove about a pound from the trigger pull.

I purchased an SP 101 two weeks ago and it was used but I don’t think ever fired. The double action was almost like I needed two fingers getting trigger back and the single action was just as bad. Got the kit with hammer and trigger shims and three springs needed and some grease. No Drexel felt pieces or Fritz ? Lucky I had both. As in this video. The video and written instructions were GREAT. Took a while since I did not want to make a mistake. The result was better than expected. Thank YOU 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you for the in-depth trigger job! I also found the trigger spring channel very rough with large burrs from the factory. Can’t believe the trigger spring was even working. Guess the heavy factory spring was overcoming the resistance. I also used the drill bit by hand and knocked out the heavy burrs. Honed it with 1000 grit paper and lapped the tunnel with Flitz polish and used a little gun grease. Replaced factory springs with a 10lb trigger spring and 12lb hammer spring. All other parts in trigger group polished with Flitz as well. Thanks again for your detailed video.

Successfully swapped out the springs on my brand new GP100. Only hiccup was when I first reassembled the trigger housing the cylinder latch was stuck down. Had to remove trigger again and fiddle with the cylinder latch. Upon second reassembly it all worked. Hardest part was reassembly of the trigger spring unit. Very hard to compress by hand to get the retaining pin back in. But all is well that ends well. Nice lighter trigger pull and feels broken in if that makes sense. Thanks!

[@darrylstromberg8207]

Purchased a new SP101 a few weeks ago. 10lb trigger is effecting my normal accuracy. Installed the trigger kit straight away, polished the key points and found several metal flakes, burrs, and high spots in key areas effecting trigger operation. I've performed multiple upgrades to my firearms over the years and this was by far the roughest factory job I've come across. Used all the shims and could have used two more on the trigger to really tighten it up. I'll go to the range this week to test live fire results, but there is already a tremendous difference in the dry fire trigger pull. I'll post the results of the test. Update: went to the range and put 50 rounds down range. Trigger proved to be very smooth, easier to stay on target as my model is a 5706 double action only, 2.25" barrel . Put 90% of the rounds in the 9 and 10 rings. At the same time I lapped the end of the barrel as the barrel bevel was pretty rough. I saw other posts where burrs left from the factory effected accuracy as well. So new grip, trigger job with some polishing and debuting, and lapping the end of the barrel have resulted in an acceptable firearm. I think I'll put a better front sight to increase visibility on dark targets and I'll be done. But the money spent on the trigger job was well worth the investment and is super easy to perform. BTW all tests were done with factory ammo and I did not experience any misfires as others have eluded to.

All in all a fairly easy mod for a huge improvement!

Don't own a revolver. Would like to, but had to leave a comment. This was a great informative piece & a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully, a GP 100 is in my future.

Great kit and video; my GP100 operates more smoothly than ever now. One note: BE SURE you keep the detent/spring parts for the hammer dog and pawl apart and identified. I installed each in the wrong hole and no matter what, the trigger would not work. Once I reversed them, all was good.

[@davidharris9077]

Wow, what a detailed video. Most videos treat the viewer like they already know how to do ( fill in the blank). I get tire of a video tell you do " that" and pointing a fat finger at three things, which i wonder which one and which that.

I just installed the kit in my GP100. Great video to help me through the process. The only problem I had was getting the hammer to drop in and engage the sears properly. I know I put it in and out at least 50 times, wiggling it and pushing. Finally, for some reason that I never did figure out, it dropped into place. The action feels MUCH better than before. Double action dropped to about 8 lbs or so, but I used an inexpensive Wheeler spring style trigger pull gauge.

Veteran owned and American made. A win, win.

Great video fella, thank you. Just purchased an SP101 and this will guide me just fine.

Thanks Brother for your Support!

[@TimHPop776]

Wow, I thought doing my Glock's were the cats meow!! I am going to pick up a GP100 7 shot in a few weeks and polish out the trigger!! I am completely jazzed to see the results. Thank you.

Thanks Brother for your Support!

[@balrognemhed5222]

Great video, great kit, the improvement to my SP101 was phenomenal!

[@paladin4570]

As per your other videos, this is top notch. I’d recommend that if you own a gun you’ve done a video on, watch it. If you are planning on buying a gun and you’ve done a video on, watch it. You may learn things you should know before you buy. Great stuff.

[@MCARBO]

Thanks Brother for the Support!

[@bobg1685]

Excellent video. I've used these kits for pistols, but not (yet) for my revolvers. Great help!

[@kd2quick]

Looks like you could have doubled up on the one side of the hammer with the shims.

[@thealsatian4232]

This is a great video! Very informative. I know the inside of a Smith revolver or a 1911 very well, but you showed me new things about my SP101. Ordering the kit because I want to see more of this kind of video.

[@joeyphillips1181]

Holy crap a 4lb trigger pull is insane on a Ruger revolver

[@JayS-ki8sp]

Just completed the job on my new GP 100 357 and totally satisfied with the results. Followed your excellent video and did the polishing along with the springs & shims. Had a decent trigger out of the box at 8lbs 9 oz for DA and 2lbs 14 oz SA. Now have a very smooth DA 6lbs 13 oz and 2lb 3 oz SA. Haven't range tested it yet, but assuming she fires I'm a very satisfied customer. Thanks.

[@dfrazier1]

Sold brother, hope I enjoy it as much as you! Thanks for an excellent training session!

[@MCARBO]

Awesome! Thanks Brother for your Support. Looking forward to your feedback and results!

[@andrewmoffitt7850]

Awesome video, meticulous attention to detail. Can’t wait to see if I get same results with my work on my sp101. Thanks for video.

[@ronaldjohnston7989]

Best how-to I've seen...and I've seen a LOT. Excellent, just ordered your spring kit and polishing stuff for my SP101 327 Fed Mag. Can't wait to do the trigger and internal polishing. Thanks much for sharing your knowledge. Ron J.

[@MCARBO]

Glad to hear it Brother! Keep us posted on your results!

[@ronaldjohnston7989]

@@MCARBO Just did the spring replacement and trigger/internals polishing on my 2010 SP101 327 Fed. Mag. It was surprisingly easy after watching your video completely, then following along again as I did the work. I didn't use gloves which made it easier for me. The result was just as yours...amazing. You (M*Carbo) have put together a great kit for this firearm...keep up the great work and maybe do the same for the S&W J Frame revolver (I have 3)...I'm a customer for EVER!

[@ralphross2357]

One thing I see could work on the pivot pin is using a flat shoe lace with flitz which would conform. better. Just pull it back and forth around the pin

[@fpav4049]

I have a few parts for a couple of my firearms and they work great. Really like looking at these install/upgrade videos! Thanks

[@casper3oaks]

Awesome! Great explanation as usual. Looks like I got another excuse to take something apart!

[@mclifford6655]

Excellent video, just the right level of detail. Well done!

[@1981samsquamch]

Thank you for sharing. Great video. Doing this tomorrow on my gp100!

[@donfullbright8468]

Outstanding video. The best instructions video on doing a trigger job I have ever seen.
