Thanks for the input - I ordered a Wolff pak and it should be here next week. Have you ever put a gauge on your DA pull and measured it? Just curious how it turned out. Mine is averaging almost 12 pounds with the factory 17 lb spring.

Glad to hear someone had an easy time with the change out. (I hope you're not a professional gunsmith....)

My RH is 2.5 years old and the DA pull is about 10 lbs. Factory springs and a SA pull that is light and crisp - the best of all my revolvers.

I personally gave up the quest of a super light trigger in favor of training the brain to manage the heavier but reliable pull with the factory springs.

That doesn't mean the tinkering and all is bad. I just don't see the advantages outweighing the risks.

I guess if I was getting 10 pounds I would likely leave it alone. But I was expecting 9 or 10 and got nearly 12 so I would like to get it down to at least 10. Then curious if I could go 8 - would I have light strikes? Maybe - I'd like to find out. Then maybe move back up to the 13 or 14 lb spring and leave it there.

I like to keep a "stable" of rock solid, bone stock reliable revolvers, like my SP101 .38 Special, my .357 2 3/4" Speed Six and .38 Special 4" Service Six. I keep factory springs in them, and they are the ones I would bet my life to fire 100% of the time.

But life would be boring if ALL of my guns were 100% factory, there's a reason why companies thrive selling aftermarket parts, people like to modify and I'm no exception!

But, I don't like my trigger pulls TOO light, otherwise you get the "cap gun" trigger.

I would agree. I play with the triggers on some of my guns to see how light one can go out of curiousity in double action. In fact have a 686 Mtn. Gun that had the
double action down to 6.75 lbs but trigger felt too light to me so upped it to 8 lbs. knowing there is a margin of safety in this.

Just a thought...but if it's your first time taking the thing apart...I place my trigger system inside a 1 gallon ziplok bag...it keeps the springs and parts from flying everywhere if I lose control of one of them...at least the first time I take something apart! Losing springs or parts...sucks!

That's good advice. Been there, done that! Those little springs seem to end up in landing in the worst places. If you don't hear where they land you're screwed!
