NCG, I don't think I can provide a good evaluation of the trigger. Just don't know that much about single action revolvers. Mostly have shot DA/SA ones, and rarely if ever used the SA function. Got to read up on these triggers.
I did notice a couple of things about the trigger. Again, my comments are in very layman terms, w/o much technical savvy. I barely needed to pull the trigger and it fired extremely easily. I didn't feel any play as I pulled it, and one time when I put my trigger finger within the guard, I shot it a little prematurely before I was fully settled on the target. I learned that I really need to pay attention to this trigger. And even need to more carefully handle the other SA revolvers I've recently acquired.
I read once that the
definition of a hair trigger is: "a gun trigger that goes off with a very light squeeze." I'd say that's what it felt like to me when I shot this Stallion.
Last comment on the trigger. Retired Seabee wrote he has the exact same revolver and that he really likes it. Maybe he'll chime in about the trigger from his shooting experience?

They are very cool guns, though. Love them.
I think I'd rather be less of an enabler. I've realized something as I've moved to acquiring these SA revolvers. Along I don't "live" in the late 1800s like RR does, and don't have the expertise in shooting like you, RR, ESquared, and any number of Henry Forum folk, I think I've found my "niche" with firearms. I cannot shoot shotguns nor rifles that well at all. (My SGC is an exception with the receiver-mounted ghost ring rear sight). These revolvers, with their fixed-ramp rear sights and front blades, work well for my eyes. That's one part of the niche.
The other is the simple function of these revolvers. It slows me down very nicely, and I'm mostly relaxed when I shoot. A quite pleasant part of the niche.
Maybe I can shift the "enabler" coat to another Forum person. CT_Shooter "introduced" me to the Uberti line of replica revolvers as he often told me how much he enjoyed his .357 Smoke Wagon. And I liked the looks of his Cowboy Six-Gun, too. Anyway, CT_Shooter was right on. These are cool handguns.
I wouldn't object, however, if you definitely "need to get one," and share your experience and Range Reports with us.
