ONCE IN A WHILE I PICK A VINTAGE DA MID FRAME REVOLVER WITH A TRIGGER SHOE, MUST HAVE BEEN A WELL THOUGHT OF ADDITION BACK IN THE DAY, dunno for sure BUT VERY POSSIBLY FAVORED BY BULLSEYE TYPE SHOOTERS.

ONCE IN A WHILE I PICK A VINTAGE DA MID FRAME REVOLVER WITH A TRIGGER SHOE, MUST HAVE BEEN A WELL THOUGHT OF ADDITION BACK IN THE DAY, dunno for sure BUT VERY POSSIBLY FAVORED BY BULLSEYE TYPE SHOOTERS. ***** Ken and you are right about the ridiculous trigger shoe. Crazy popular on DA revolvers and bolt action rifles in the middle half of the 20th century, right uo into the early 1960’s. I’ve seen ‘em on benchers rifles, lever actions and, especially stupid, on a Colt 1911. (During this era----pre-War into the 1950s----there was a vogue for cutting away the front of the trigger guard on a DA revolver.) The influence probably came from bullseye slow-fire competition. Every competitive discipline leads to specialization, not all of it for the better. Best thing about a trigger shoe----easy off, albeit with two set-screw scars. A wide trigger creates the illusion of a lighter pull. I consider the wide Smith & Wesson Target trigger a beauty on the M-29 with 6-1/2” barrel. Like both standard width and Target on a couple of 8-3/8” M-29s. Prefer my own narrowing of the Target trigger on a 4” M-29. My late shooting partner Ed Verge shot the 4” M-29 astoundingly well with factory Target trigger. Keep a clear head and let your target decide. For this shooter, the S&W Target Trigger and Target Hammer are aliens on a K frame, at home on an N frame. However, a trigger shoe has no saving grace. It crowds the trigger guard and protrudes outside the guard. Definitely slows leather work. David Bradshaw |

Love the S&W K22s. The older I get, the more I shoot the three I have (2ea 6", 1ea 4" M18).

The illusion of the lighter trigger provided by a wide trigger or a shoe can be a blessing to some shooters, not so much for others. I like narrow smooth triggers in my DAO guns. Fired in single action mode the wide ones provide the expected illusion. Like boxers and briefs. No right or wrong. What ever you shoot best with. Personally, always hated the added complexity of the shoe. One more thing to come loose in the middle of a match. I even spurn the NM Colt 1911s with their slightly wider triggers. My point with them isn't that they are bad. They are simply different.

Trigger shoes make me group low right every time. No thanks.

***** Beautiful hammer. Soon after this older curved spur was changed. The CASE HARDENING of hammer and trigger through these years was essential to wear resistance. It is not decorative “color case hardening.” The metals fire which occurred around 1979 and broke out on the firing range of the service building----across Roosevelt Avenue from the Springfield, Massachusetts factory----swept through the antique parts inventory, a horrible loss for restoring older guns.
