I have a S&W model 37 no dash and the double action pull is extremely heavy along with the hammer being stiff to pull back in single action mode. The trigger is crisp in single action and I was curious is this common for snub nose revolvers or is mine a third shift friday night gun. My model 19 is wonderful to shoot in either single or double action, it does have the wider trigger and hammer, but I wouldn't think that would make a huge difference. The 37 doesn't show any wear either so maybe it needs breaking in but I never thought of a snub gun as a plinker. If it's just me let me know I'm getting soft in my old age or if this is something you have experienced with new or like new revolvers. Thank you!
