Have really been enjoying my LCR's......that cam action trigger i think is one of the best inventions ever to hit the small frame snub nose market.
That being said, i had a friend that just acquired a Ruger sp101 Wiley Clapp. I have always been semi-excited about the model. Nice heavy duty snub with the special novak sights.
But........when i tried the trigger, it was a nightmare. On a slow trigger pull, it felt like it took 18 pounds just to get the cylinder moving and when she did finally start moving, she moved fast to the 2nd stage. Needless to say it would take a lot of practice "as is" to even try to stage the trigger for accuracy. So it was nothing but fast shooting with this thing as the trigger was so aggravating over-coming that initial contact...
makes me wonder if Ruger can perhaps install the LCR cam system in the sp or even in the GP.
Anyways, that sp is definately gong to need some help in an action job and/or spring job. It has been years since i shot a standard SP101 and i do not recall the trigger being as bad as this Wiley Clapp.
looks like i will continue to be staying with the LCR.
