Although it is a different matter on single actions than DA while I was still building custom guns for CAS I did several "asction jobs". Invariably every customer requested a "lighter" trigger". I do not like the thought of a light trigger on a single actions (revolver) of any kind but definately not those to be used in CAS. (Kneeecaps are such a pain to replace.) After much encouragment from me each agreed to allow me to smooth the action only rather than lighten it. The job came with the promise that if any decided later they wanted the action lightened I would do the job for free.
I never got one back to be lightened.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.
