How many 'clicks' should I feel or hear as the trigger is resetting on an SP-101? I can feel 3 (sometimes 4) very distinct clicks and a rough spot between 1 and 2. I have smoothed and polished everything indicated in the IBOK.

There are actually four resets, although, you probably only feel/hear three at a time.

The first is the transfer bar dropping the firing pin.

The Second, third and fourth, in very close proximity to each other will be:

Cylinder catch reset,
Pawl reset,
Hammer reset.

Actually, all this comes under the rather broad term of trigger reset. A lot happens when one releases the trigger.

Seems all is well with your gun.
