I agree with BossHoss on the trigger pull for each type of primer, I had to run 7.5# to light off CCI large pistol primers when I first got started with revolvers. I had 5k of them and figured I might as well shoot them up before buying more. With Federal small pistol primers I've had my gun down as low as 4.75# but you need everything to be just right, it ran 1,300 or so rounds without a light strike but was very particular and I didn't like the slower trigger reset. After a lot of trial and error I settled on a 6# trigger for the S&W design (BossHoss might know a thing or two ).
That said, even a 7# trigger with easier to find Winchester primers will be night and day compared to a factory gun. I setup my Rugers at 7# so they light off all brands of primers and once you start shooting it's very hard to tell the difference in pull weight between them. It just needs to be smooth and consistent on every chamber. I've shot 2 or 3 guns that BossHoss worked on and all were nice, you won't be disappointed.
As to Sean's suggestion for ICORE we are always excited to meet new revolver shooters, come out and have some fun with us. This one is going to have a bit higher round count since I decided to add a sixth stage for June. Why not burn a little extra powder!
