Reeder Custom Guns - EAA Bounty Hunter .45Colt?

Got one, oh boy is it rough! Compared to a stock, off the shelf Blackhawk it takes a man and waterboy to pull the trigger! I’ve been studying it for an hour or so and think I can get it up to stock Ruger standards but not even close to Gary’s work! Any helpful suggestions or tips to make it sing?

trigger was horrible. They have a funky transfer bar system. I turned the back off the cylinder as I don't like recessed cartridges on a sixgun. Too easy for crap to get in there and keep a cartridge from seating. I also took the massive amount of writing off the barrel. Not sure why they printed a whole book on there.

The sixgun itself seems to be a strong one ... large frame and cylinder. The one I had was in .357 so it was heavy. I got it running pretty well and gave it to a good friend who is a missionary and who oversees Disaster Relief. He sent me a picture of his wife shooting it a couple days ago.

It is real rough and you can see lots of contact on the transfer bar. Slick it up and maybe see if I can get it to 8 versus 15 pound trigger pull! Writing is minimal and is under the barrel where it can’t be seen. All in all, a good looking .45!
