There has been considerable discussion about the trigger here. There seem to be two schools of thought. One being that we who think the factory trigger is crappy are whining, and those like us that think S&W had bad QC on the .45. In my case, I sent mine back to S&W under warranty since they claim the .45 is supposed to have a 6.5 lb trigger. Mine was over 8. It came back almost the same :roll: So, off it went for a trigger job. Hopefully it will come back with a 4.5 lb trigger.
