Call them on the phone. They are very easy to deal with.

Not even gonna talk `bout primer ign , but think of the lock time !!!

Pulling the trigger & being able to watch the hammer fall !!!!

Not sayin not to try it just lookin from a different view .

You'll get light primer strikes if you go below #9
Alot of GP100/SP101s won't 100% ignite magnums with a #9

I think the lowest rated spring Wolff offers is 9 lbs. Bullseye makes a spring kit that MAY be weaker, don't know. You should achieve ignition if attention is devoted to firing pin protrusion and cleaning up the hammer channel in the frame per Iowegan's guide. As noted the hammer fall can be somewhat leisurely but should be rapid compared to a tuned Colt Python with light springs. This can be remedied via lightening the hammer. Iowegan's guides show where to do this, too. There was a thread on one of the Ruger Forums on this subject but I think the picture is no longer hosted.

In answer to the question I would find a gunsmith that could fashion a mainspring out of spring stock which they should have on hand. Brownell's would have the spring stock but I have no idea what to order. Also, the gunsmith should have a spring testor so he can check what the compression weight is vs. a benchmark spring.

Thel/lone star, As a gunsmith for many years and knowing a slew of gunsmiths over the years, I can count on less than one hand, the number of gunsmiths I've known who had a spring testor. A good "commercial" one and not a piece of "homemade" junk! What you do after working with hundreds/thousands of springs is develope a "feel" for springs. Is it an exact science? No, but it works! A good gunsmith will be able to fashion lighter weight springs for you. I "suggest" you also bring him a good supply of all the ammo types you will be using in that GP-100 for his "testing".....................Dick :wink:
