got my first wheel gun taurus 850

[dubs chops]

Well actually it is my wife's. But I have a bit of a problem. She can't pull the trigger. I have to admit though, it is the toughest i have felt. but haven't shot many double action only guns. is there a way to adjust the trigger tension down some? here is a pic of the gun, Other than this I love it!

Trapper gun springs, knowledge of trigger mechanisms, some stones and a little time.

Never had a Taurus. My Smiths and Rugers have all improved their triggers with use. A zillion dry fires should do it.

Sounds dumb, but...can your wife pull the trigger a bit and just not close the deal? My wife had that problem DA - she was hitting her finger tip on the trigger guard. As soon as she placed the right part of her finger on the trigger, she could shoot.

Have her practice dry fire and live fire and it will get better. Excellent choice for a first gun

I tried the trigger finger placement mentioned above, No go. She can however use her other finger to assist in the depress though, I don't see a saftey issue with her fingers being so small. any thoughts?

any thoughts?

Keep it for your self and get her a Glock.

I had the same issue with my wife. She can barely rack the slide on her P229. I bought her a Ruger SP101 and she couldn't pull the trigger. Bought the Judge and she couldn't pull that either. Finally, she can pull the trigger on an LCR.

Get her a good scattergun.
