Re: Smith and Wesson 617 .22 Revolver - some advice needed
I wouldn't say the sky is falling. Steve is recommending that the strain screw not be loosened as a means of controlling trigger pull, and in this he is correct. While there are many S&W owners who adjust the strain screw as a means of adjusting trigger pull, and do so successfully, it is not "best practice." Is is best to do as member Brick describes:

Just a little dab'll do ya, and it works wonders for smoothing up the action in a newly-minted SS S&W wheelgun.
