My son Brad just finished up putting a trigger job and springs and shims in his newly purchased super Blackhawk 44. while in there did a bunch of cleaning of metal shavings and deburring. While i am a huge ruger fan, i watched as he placed larger and larger feeler gauges between the trigger and frame. .020 gap that had to be filled with shims on the trigger and the hammer was .012 so, .018 on the trigger and .008 on the hammer. this seems really extreme to me. I have done trigger jobs and springs and shims on 4 other rugers and never had to use more than .007 on either the trigger or hammer.
Has anyone else had these kind of extreme "gaps" tolerances on their rugers?

Im just talking out my rear on the subject dave, but that does seem excessive for any tolerance anywhere on a firearm. Do the parts tend to cant and bind when they are that sloppy? Did you use shim stock or buy shims? I admire what yall have been able to do with your stable of rugers!

Did you check clearances for the bolt/cylinder stop?

We bought shim from triggershims.com when looking at the trigger it appears to have been polished almost to a mirror polish on one side, with that it also seemed to have two different angles on the trigger from the buffing. if we cant get this thing tightened up and smoothed out, i will call the factory and talk to them about shipping it back for new parts.
I did not check any other tolerances on this gun as it seemed to be running fine other than the junky trigger.

got the shims in place and polished the friction surfaces. slicked right up, Brad will shoot it sometime this week to put some groups on paper.
