Just got a 1895 Nagant in a trade and its a pretty good revolver to shoot.

Only thing I didn't care for was the 20 pound trigger pull! (LOL)

I looked around to see if anything could be done to decrease the pull without permanently modifying the revolver.

Found this method on the Surplus Rifle Forum

Basically you can put a nut, bullet, heck even a shaved piece of wood under the v spring to take off tension and reduce the trigger pull!

Anyone ever try it or something like it?

Looks like I may have a project for the weekend!
 
I want one lol .

What version do you have . Didn't the make one single action and one double action

1928 Double action and yes there have been reports about breaking springs.

My thought is to make a wood tapered elevated ramp under the spring.

That way no rough, sharp corners and it could be sanded down to find a nice spot.

Start out with various size balsa wood 'shims" then when I found shape/pull that worked for me make it out of some hard wood.
 
Yep, fabricate a small piece to fit your gun and you're done!
