Thanks for the input guys, and the welcome. So it sounds like the trigger has some capability of being adjusted to "balance" the pulls if I choose to get that done. ( I will not attempt this on such a nice gun of this age and parts availability, I will have my gunsmith Bill Swartz do it ). Dave, are you suggesting that maybe the trigger is worn and attempting such adjustments could take it outside of working/reliable specs? To clarify, what I would like is for the trigger pull weight and length be the same for the 1st and 2nd pulls. Thx again Tom
