Something to think about in a light weight rifle . Lots of target shooters here prefer the small Siler because you have less mass , so less lock induced movement when firing.
This is another factor many do not think about. In a light weight firearm, especially pistols, movement of the firearms induced by cock fall and especially the frizzen coming a stop can increase group size unless the firearm/shooter is supported by a rest.

This problem isn't limited to lightweight firearms, I built a rifle with a .40 cal. B profile barrel about 15 years ago, plenty heavy enough for me. This rifle had set triggers also. So after completion I started shooting the gun and noticed what felt like a Slam that jarred the whole rifle with every shot. Even when shooting propped against a tree I could see the front site actually move off the bull just before the rifle fired. I had never read about this problem so I had to figure out what to do own my own and set about doing a better job at polishing the lock.
It ended up I polished it more than once and had to do some tuning also, but I finally got all that jar out and now when I shoot it the front site stays on target. So I can see how a smaller lock with less mass to induce movement of the weapon would be desired. Trouble is I'm lefthanded and a Large Siler is all that's available from Chambers. So it's a good thing I got that problem figured out.
