Bought an 85 for the wife back in 97, no issues what so ever, only a couple hundred rounds thru it thou. Had a trigger job,recontoured the trigger face for her and had it ported. She's comfortable with it. Taurus guns have parts that simply do not fit as tightly – as precisely – as some other manufacturers. Yes, you can do a shadetree action job, maybe swap springs, and improve the action – but it will never be truly ‘great’ without rebuilding the gun. I’ve purchased more than a few Taurus.

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17. Jan 14, 2010 I would not let anyone 'upgrade' my 1911 using the techniques shown in the 'trigger job' video. The sear and hammer were never checked before or after stoning. The wallowing out of the main spring housing pin holes, and grinding of the grip safety with a motor tool. The pounding of the trigger bar with a punch to adjust take up. Poor Boy's Trigger Job: by Jeff Quinn photography by Jeff Quinn Many, if not most, revolvers leave the factory these days with what can charitably be called a less than satisfactory trigger pull. The typical factory trigger consists of a gritty feeling pull with excessive weight.

TECH TIP: Taurus Hammer / Trigger Shims
Taurus Hammer and Trigger Shim Installation Instructions
To install shims in your Taurus, you should disassemble and remove the Hammer and Trigger springs, begin by installing a shim on both* sides of the Trigger and Hammer, re-install the frame side plate (without springs) and check for binding.
If the Trigger and Hammer move freely, continue to add shims
If the Trigger and Hammer move freely, continue to add shims
At the point you begin to trap or bind the hammer and trigger, you will have your approximate free clearance, and you can then remove shims and install the proper amount, leaving a final clearance of around .003' to .004' - and reassemble the unit complete.
I suggest a 12 Piece Kit to provide ample Shims for this procedure

*Note: some guns have pins with a large radius at the base, and the shim will not seat.
The Hammer and Trigger Pin Holes are also Radiused, and should seat together.
If that is the case, you can successfully shim the Right Side only.
