Ok my parts finally came in today and after I got home I went out to my workshop and installed the new leaf spring and trigger from C & S. I took the time to lightly file the opening in the frame which seemed to be tight on the new trigger. Once the trigger assembly fell in place I installed the new lighter weight leaf spring. Once I got it all together and lubed up and over-rated screw set I checked my trigger pull, ALMOST SAME AS BEFOREI STARTED! 4.4 lbs on average now, but crap I was hoping for 3-3.5 lbs, now trigger does feel a little better now it's tighter fitting, but this spring was supposed to drop pull by 1-1 1/2 lbs, nope! Not real happy about it, so I guess I'm going to have to buy a trigger kit to get to where I want to be.I think I'm going to try that leaf spring and new trigger from C & S to take up the slack vertically in my gun and see if that helps first. Then will figure out what to do next t. Thanks for the help John and Mitch.
Mr D was showing me this among other things, wish I would have took notes or videoed it because he is a wealth of information/experience. No way I could remember all the stuff he told me, but most of it stuck. I'm waiting on the new hammer spring to arrive then off to the range I go to see how much better I can shoot it. This gun already groups good with WWB and I bought some more while waiting so I can't wait to shoot it. Then I need to start reloading for it soon, but that's another story.Bend the left leg back about 1/16”. Make the bend as low as possible. Lay the spring on it’s side and trace the shape on a piece of paper. Use that as your guide. Measure the change at the very top.
Too much bend and the hammer will start to follow the slide.
