It has been years since I played around inside a revolver nd dont know what might have changed in the world. I'm going to change the springs in a 624 to lighten things up a bit and wondered if anyone had done this and which spring kit did you use. I'm only familiar with Wolf springs as that was all I ever used 30 years ago. Is there something better/lighter out there now?
 
Thanks guys. Went ahead and ordered end ot last week. Maybe it will work out. Cheap fix if it doesn't.
Billy......... how much difference did it make in the trigger?
 
Iā€™ve bubbaized a few K frames. The difference with new springs can be stunning. Of course, the more a rebolber is shot, the smoother it becomes as the internals ā€œpolishā€ themselves.

It can make a noticeable difference. Just don't want to go to light. You can get light primer strikes or incomplete trigger resets. I generally find that the 14lb rebound spring does a great job without getting too light. I was a fan of the Wolff Reduced Power Mainspring but now am a HUGE fan of the Wilson Combat mainspring.

I have a model 64 that is amazing. You can stage the the hammer when shooting da and fire almost sa at will. Billy and I have been trying to figure out who and how bent the mainspring like it is. Found out Sunday it is a Wilson Mainspring. I have some on order to see if it is indeed the mainspring like we think. The great thing about this gun is it is smooth as silk da if you choose to pull on through. Should be here Thursday and will immediately rework another 3ā€ K Frame. I personally think it helps because the hammer is bobbed and lighter. Iā€™ll let you know how the experiment goes
