Get some A-Zoom snap caps (the red aluminum ones) and do the McGivern drill, 100 snaps a day for a couple weeks and you’ll both smooth out your trigger squeeze and the gun. Smiths now aren’t as well finished as the one’s in the 30’s (like butter - I dry fired a 1939 LNIB Outdoorsman but let it get away ~ a N frame .38 with target sights ~ and still have dreams about it - that’s a getalife sing for sure) or even the 50’s, so extended dryfiring is like a poor mans trigger job, it mates the parts together better.

I fired a few SW 357s with trigger jobs that where scary.

Like I said I dont want to shoot my balls off.

I just replaced 2 firing pins from dry firing...Sigh...

Star BM and Chinese C96 mauser.

Bad habit. The good news is they run like hoses again.
