Star

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the Highest, and On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men.

RDA Hammer & Trigger Shim Kits

Ruger Double Action GP100, SP101, RedHawk, Super RedHawk and Alaskan
Also Fits Ruger Security-Six and its variants, the Service-Six and Speed-Six
RDA Shims also fit Rimfire Models
Our Trigger and Hammer Shim Kits are designed to work with the 3/32 Trigger Pin and a 3/16 Hammer Pin standard on all Ruger Double Action Revolvers.

Ruger Double Action Revolver Shims

Our Ruger Double Action Hammer and Trigger Shim Kits can be used to remove excess clearance found from varying factory manufacturing tolerances.

Shimming your Hammer & Trigger will remove much of the Excessive Side to Side Movement from these parts, keeping them better aligned, making for a Much Smoother Consistent Feel.

Shimming the Hammer will stop it from Rubbing the Frame and the Friction caused, allowing for Better and Stronger Primer Strikes, and a Lighter Hammer Spring to be installed Reducing Hammer and Trigger Pull.

Our Ruger Double Action Trigger Shims will stop the Trigger from rubbing the trigger housing and reduce friction to Smooth Trigger Pull.

When used in combination with Wolff Reduced Power Spring Paks, and some polishing and care, you can have the feel only Custom Firearms have.

No DIY Trigger Job is Complete without TriggerShims Brand Shims!

Hi Lance, Before I did anything to my new GP100 the double action pull bottomed my trigger pull gauge, and single action pull was over five pounds. I installed a Wilson spring kit and reduced the trigger pull to 9 pounds DA and 3-1/8 pounds SA. The gun fired 200 rounds without a miss. This morning I installed hammer and hammer dog shims and DA pull fell to 7-1/2 pounds! Good deal! Thank You, Tom

TECH TIP: Shims and Clearance

When shimming an RDA Trigger, an ending clearance of .002" to .003" should be left.
If your Trigger Assembly is within that range from the factory, you are good and should leave it alone. If you clearance is in the .004" to .006" range, a single shim placed on the Off-Hand Side of the Trigger (side opposite your gun hand) will be sufficient and helpful.
A clearance of .006" or more use two shims.

This is a Hammer Shim Only Pak and if you are installing only one set of shims to improve your revolver, Hammer Shims are it!

TriggerShims has been manufacturing these shims for almost two decades, I like to think we started a trend when these same style Hammer Shims were installed by the Ruger factory when the New Ruger GP100 Match Champion was introduced in 2014

With some careful polishing, a set of Wolff Reduced Power Springs, a few TriggerShims Brand Shims, almost any Ruger Revolver can feel like a Match Champion... Or Better ;-)

Ruger Double Action Milled MIM Hammer Shim

Milled Recess
Cast or MIM Hammer Shims

For Use In: MIM or Cast Metal Hammer with 27/64" Milled Recess

The only difference in this shim, and the Standard .499" O.D. RDA Hammer Shim is the Smaller Outside Diameter to Match the Milled Recess in this New Style Hammer and the Factory Supplied Hammer Shim

Our Standard Size .499" OD Hammer Shim will work fine OUTSIDE with the smaller Ruger Shims, but will not fit INSIDE the milled recess

This New Smaller OD Shim is made to match the New Ruger Shim used with this Milled Hammer

To the best of my knowledge, this was a change in 2022 to some models for unknown reasons, if you have any info please let me know, please don't ask me if your Hammer has this milled recess, I don't know, you will have to remove the hammer and look

TECH TIP: Reviews

Ruger Double Action Hammer Shim

 Dear Lance,
The shims you sent me are just what I needed, my GP100 match champion is now like a fine oiled sewing machine! I can't thank you enough, God Bless, and I will be one of your customers for a long time!
Oh, the outside diameter on the hammer shims really stabilized the hammer side shake, it drops dead square now. I am sooooo happy, well God Bless, Yours Truly, Bob in NY

Ruger GP100 Match Champion
Hi Lance, the Hammer Shims came in yesterday. I installed them last night on my Ruger Match Champion and they work great. They are a little larger on the OD than the shims that came in the gun and this has really helped stabilize the hammer - no more rubbing on the frame and the pull weight came down about half a pound on my gauge. I am very pleased. Thanks for a great product!
Tim in TX

Mr. Shively, I got the hammer & hammer dog shims today that you mailed out Monday. Thank you for such quick shipping! I hated my GP100, it fact I was ready to sell it as it was unshootable. Both single and double action were horrible, to the point that it wouldn't group even in single action. I got online and looked at videos as how to slick up the action, and your shims were the last step. Success! Double and single action are slick as silk! Thank you for helping me in my GP100 rescue! Brad in KS

The shim kit (for GP100) I recently ordered arrived today. Thanks for the quick shipping. I’m quite familiar with disassembly and reassembly of Ruger revolvers, but your shim installation videos and recommendations were great. The shims popped in easily and made an immediate improvement in the feel of the action. Great products and great customer support at a very fair price. I’ll be ordering more soon! ~ Bill in VA

RDA Hammer Dog Shims

Ruger Double Action Hammer Dog Shims ~ Improve Your Double Action Trigger Pull

Our Shims will fit 5/64" Hammer Dog Pins Standard on Ruger Double Action Revolvers and you will find many if not most RDA revolvers will have at least .006" to over .014" excess clearance in the Hammer Dog Slot

Many of My Customers Claim the Biggest Improvement you can make to your Double Action Trigger Pull after installing our Wolff Reduced Power Springs is to Shim Your Hammer Dog!
I recommend an ending clearance of about .002"

The Best Gunsmiths Know, No Trigger Job is Complete without TriggerShims Brand Shims!

My 6 or 8 Pak will give enough shims to stack and do most guns, while the 14 Pak Gunsmith Special Pak will fit many if not most all guns with a single set, or have enough to do several revolvers. You can also use a feeler gauge, measure your total clearance first, deduct 2 or 3 thou for ending clearance, and divide the result by two for 2 shims ordered with correct thickness

I am often asked my advice ~ "Which kit is best for my gun?"
The 18 PistolSmith Kit is a good start, I have tried to use the more popular sizes that can be used singly or stacked/combined, while keeping the kit as small as practical.
If a larger kit is in your budget, the 44 Pak has a better selection, and will easily do 2 or 3 guns

TECH TIP: Cylinder Shim Installation

RDA CYL and Shims

RDA Cylinder Endshake

Barrel-Cylinder Gap and Endshake

The gap between the back of the barrel and the front of the cylinder is known as the Barrel-Cylinder (B-C) gap. The Front-To-Back Movement of the Cylinder is the Endshake.
In order to properly measure these clearances you will need a Feeler Gauge Set. K-D Tools USA Made # 161 Deluxe Feeler Gauge is available all over the internet and at most good auto parts stores for under $10
To check B-C gap, hold the cylinder rearward and insert the (thickest that will fit) feeler between the Barrel and the Cylinder, this is your Barrel-Cylinder Gap, write it down, it should be between .004" and .008"
Next, hold the cylinder forward and re-check the gap, write it down.
The difference between the two numbers is the amount of movement or Endshake your cylinder has, it should be between .001" and .004"
Our Cylinder Shims can be used to adjust your B-C Gap and Endshake.

TECH TIP: Review

Good Afternoon, Lance and Miss Tammy, The shims have arrived - thanks for the prompt shipping! I tinkered with installing them on a Ruger Single Six last evening. I have not shot the gun yet with the shims installed, but I started this project to begin with to correct a slight cylinder alignment issue at lockup. By manipulating the trigger and latching bolt shims, I was able to achieve perfect cylinder alignment. Since I had the hammer shims, I tinkered with the hammer, too. Man, what a difference in the "feel" of the operation of the gun! I know Rugers are built a little loose on purpose to allow for tolerances, but once I had everything tuned up, the gun felt solid with a very smooth cocking operation - just like a Linebaugh revolver I have (and at a lot less cost!). I'm sold on the benefits of these shims, and if I can I will use them on everything I work on from now on. I especially appreciate the fact that the shims are color-coded to keep from having to sort them out - that's a nice touch. Thanks again for a great product. Have a good day! R in VA

In this video, I install a TriggerShims RDA Pak of Shims, and a Wolff 17113 Reduced Power Shooters Pak in a Ruger SP101. The Trigger Pull before was very tough in Double Action, with a inconsistent Single Action trigger pull weight of 5 pounds. After this install, the Double Action trigger pull was Much Better, and the Single Action Trigger Pull Dropped to a Very Smooth Consistent 3 1/2 Pounds! And the best part is there were no permanent alterations to this gun

Hello Lance, A few years ago I ordered a custom set of trigger and hammer shims for a Ruger GP-100. They installed easily and made a huge difference in the feel of the action. It feels like the gun's internals have been polished when it's just some inexpensive shims! I also installed a spring kit brining my investment to about $25, and it feels like I had a gunsmith do an action job! I'm very impressed with your products. I've sent hundreds of rounds down range since adding the shims and springs, and everything is still running great. I'll be purchasing an SP-101 in a few weeks, and will be measuring it for shims and springs as soon as I get it home. Thanks again for producing such a great product.

TECH TIP: Hammer Spring R&R Fixture

Hammer Spring R&R Fixture

There are Several Ways to Accomplish Removing and Reinstalling the Hammer Spring, but I wanted to Show the Simplest Method Possible Here.
Take a Small Block of Wood, You Could Even Use Your Bench Top, Drill a 3/16 Diameter by 3/8 Deep Hole to Anchor Your Hammer Strut, Grasp the Spring Firmly with Your Fingers and Push Down to Relive the Tension and Remove the Pin.
A Thin Leather Glove Helps, as Does Working Quickly.
When Reinstalling The Cross Pin, I Found that on Your First Attempt if You Just Get the Pin Half Way, That Will Allow You to Get a Better Grip, Making Installing It the Rest of the Way Eaiser.

Review

Lance and Tammy,

My local gun shop ordered a Ruger SP101 for me and when it arrived I was shocked at the terrible trigger on the little gun. Besides having an over-weighted mainspring and trigger return spring, the action was rough and gritty.
I already had a 10# Wolff mainspring and an 8# trigger return spring. I replaced the factory springs and immediately noticed a trigger-pull improvement but the action was still rough and gritty. I decided to do the SP101 Trigger Job that was posted online by Kevin Wilson to smooth things up. After doing so, the action was smoother but It wasn’t as nice as it could be.
When looking at Kevin’s preliminary information he referred to installing hammer and trigger shims and listed your company as a source. I didn’t know if I wanted to go that far but after I had done all the sanding and polishing and re-springing the little revolver, I felt the trigger could still be better and shims could help.
Since I didn’t know the shim sizes needed, I ordered the #RDA-Pak GS-30 Piece set. They seemed to be shipped almost before I finished the order. (Your shipments are fast.) The #RDA-Pak GS-30 Piece set gave me plenty of thickness options (and plus possible spares for other guns).
Using the excellent video showing how to install both the trigger and hammer springs, I completed the installation in no time at all. I settled on .002 trigger shims and .008 hammer shims. The shims completed my trigger job. That final tweaking made a good trigger great. I feel the shims were the icing on the cake - no more rough and gritty action.
To test my efforts, I took the little revolver to the range and cranked off 50 rounds of Federal American Eagle 130g ammo without a single malfunction. It performed exactly how I wanted: smoothly and accurately. I was amazed that a small amount of financial investment along with a little time, effort and good instruction, turned  good gun into a sweet shooter.
Thanks Lance and Tammy,
Sincerely, Bart in Kentucky

It is a good practice to use Dummy or Spent Cartridges to Support the Ejector Star Ratchet when loosening or tightening the Ejector Screw

Our USA Made Shim Stock holds a tolerance of less than 10% while most all calipers hold a measurement tolerance of Plus or Minus .001" and many round to the nearest .0005"
Burrs from the stamping process can influence the measurements slightly, but will have an insignificant effect in use, it is best to refer to the color coding when deciding what shim to use.

New Style Hex Screwdriver Bits

Some New Style Cylinders will need a special hex bit.
This Suggestion comes from Karl Ramm - Krammloxusa.com

Karl Ramms RDA Hex Cylinder Bit

Hi Lance, I made a little tool out of a hex security screw tip.
Drilled a 5/64" (.078") hole about 1/2"deep in a 1/8" Hex Security Screw Bit.
Heated the Cylinder Ejector Screw a little with a bic lighter for about 30 seconds
to loosen any Loctite.
Left handed thread turned with not much force. The screw came right out. See pics.
You will need a Carbide Drill Bit to drill the hardened Security Screw Driver Bit.
I can make these 1/8" Hex Security Screw Bits if anyone needs one, they can contact me at: 714-402-3980

Just so you know, the shims fixed the End Shake issue and the SP101 works perfectly. I was sent some shims from Power and they were the wrong ones. They said they were for the double actions GP, SP, RH & SRH. I knew they wouldn’t fit (had a feeling) and ordered from you. Your site showed specifically for the SP101 and are perfect. Thanks for the fast service.

Republic.... I like the sound of the word. It means people can live free, talk free, go or come, buy or sell, be drunk or sober, however they choose. Some words give you a feeling. Republic is one of those words that makes me tight in the throat - the same tightness a man gets when his baby takes his first step or his first baby shaves and makes his first sound as a man. Some words can give you a feeling that makes your heart warm. Republic is one of those words. - John Wayne in the Alamo
