| Does anyone know stock hammer spring weights for GP100/SP101?
I know Wolff lists them as 14#. But I just changed springs on a GP and a SP and in both cases the Wolff 12# spring was heavier than stock springs. I ended up putting the stock springs back in.
Does anyone know for sure what Ruger is putting in them these days?

Since I just order the springs from Midway, I'm very interested in the answer to your question also.
I have the GP-100 and I haven't had it very long. The double action is not too awful with the factory springs, but once in the mid-80's I replaced the springs in a Security-Six and I liked the difference.

Many have reported stock springs in the newest GP's to be 12#, usually because they bought Wolff "spring paks" and found the 12# Wolff spring to make no change in the DA pull. Those with trigger weight gauges found a lot of the stock springs in the GP to be 12#.
Maybe Ruger is using some Wolff springs in the GP's?

6 months ago my SP101 came with a 14# spring that I changed to a 10#. So far all is well.

Sal | Err, the documentation that came with the spring kit and the fact that the 12 lb spring is the heaviest in the kit.

People throw a lot of numbers around for factory springs with no way to back them up. Just wondering what you were using for a baseline.
