How much does a trigger job typically cost for a Ruger Bisley .45 LC?

  Depends on who does it.  You could proberly get a unknown local shop to do it or send it off to one of the better known Ruger 'smiths and pay a little more.  A good action job is worth is cost and MUCH more than the lesser costing local unknown doing it.  I use Gallagher and I believ it's $120 from him.

Actuctally doing a trigger job on a Ruger is not that hard. It reall depends on how far you want to go. Most of the time it`s just change a spring and I have weakened the origanal spring and put them back with good results. If you really want a first class job you would want to hone some of the parts, but a spring will be such an improvement you probily won`t bother with the honeing.

I was considering sending mine off for a trigger job, but decided to try a wolf trigger spring.  It's like a new trigger, not perfect, but much better than before and good enough for me to seriously improve my groups off hand.  Beware of the target spring, they are very light, try the hunter style first.  I put the target one in first and it was actually too light.

Trigger jobs are easy if you have patience and the right tools.  I have a couple of blackhawks with triggers breaking at just under one pound.  I do not use these for hunting or afield.  Most of my carry guns break nicely about 2.5 pounds.  Accuracy improves greatly when you don't have to struggle squeezing the trigger and if you know when the hammer is going to release.

Enjoy that Bisley!!

Thanks for the input. Looks like I am going to send it to Alan Harton.

That is an excellent choice. Alan Harton does the best trigger job on a Ruger NM I have seen. Crisp, clean, and no backlash. Be sure to have him install a trigger stop!
