gunsmith question

I'm miles from any manner of an expert and I wouldn't insult even the worst gunsmiths by hinting that I have ANY of the skill of a gunsmith.

With that out of the way, I have worked with Wolff spring kits in Smith & Wesson revolvers. It is my opinion that you are likely expecting FAR too much from a couple of springs you can get for ten bucks.

The small spring, the rebound spring, is the one that returns the trigger forward after a shot. Reducing the weight of this spring does indeed improve your feel and pull weight. I find this spring to be -very- un-fun to remove & replace. And the trigger return is, predictably, not as quick or snappy. While it makes pull feel better, it comes at a slight cost if you ever find yourself "short shucking" the trigger by pulling it faster than the spring could fully return it.

The main spring simply just doesn't seem to make all that much difference in feel, at least in my experience in two different double action Smith & Wesson revolvers, and when you make -ANY- changes in the spring weight of the one single spring that is in charge of detonating your rounds, you have quite simply compromised your function in hopes of an incredibly slight improvement in feel or pull weight. In my opinion, that's a nightmare scenario for what is most likely a defensive revolver.

It's my opinion that there are no free lunches. Others will differ. It's definitely a low expenditure to give it a twirl and see what you think. But if you truly want an incredible trigger pull out of that revolver, it'll need some genuine work because two spings costing a couple of bucks simply isn't going to do it.
