SP101 Trigger Springs?

[SweetWilliam]

I just purchased a new SP101 357mag 2 1/4"bbl. with a hammer.
I just ordered a Wolff Shooters PAC, it comes with a 9, 10, & 12 lb. reduced hammer springs. And an 8 lb. Trigger return spring. I all so ordered the 11 lb. Reduced hammer spring.
My question is which reduced hammer spring should I start with?
I want a reliable gun with a lighter double & single action trigger pull.
Why'll I have the gun apart I plan on polishing the ruff edges all so.
I've watched the videos on YouTube & read a couple articles on how to do it.
I want it to go bang everytime I pull the trigger fast or slow.
I've seen were some people have used the 10 lb. spring & had problems, that's why I ordered the separate 11 lb. spring.
Don't know why it didnt come in the shooters pac but for an extra $4 I figured I'd just get it.

Given you said you want it to go bang every time I would start with the 12 lb spring. Normally, what I do is use the lightest spring first and see what the results are, and if reliable, go up 1 lb in weight. One won't know what will work (lightest spring) until he tries it.

It takes a while to break-in a gun, especially the SP-101. Use the 12# spring for a while and if there are no problems then try a lighter spring. (they are easy to change). Check for mis-fires with CCI primers, they are the hardest.

The original question is about trigger springs, no? So how do we get to hammer springs and primer hit reliability? If one has a too-light trigger spring the trigger might not return to full-forward. Too heavy and one might complain about DA cycling force. What exactly is your question about: trigger springs or hammer springs?
I have changed out both on my SP101 (to lighter versions from Wulff), and have no complaints.

Seems clear to me. The title is about trigger springs, I assume meaning both trigger return and hammer springs. He then goes on to ask about which hammer spring to use to start off with in a new gun.

I thought so too jimbo357

Well I received my springs yesterday so decided to do my trigger job today.
While I had the gun apart I polished everything that needed polished.
I'm gonna start with the 10lb. hammer spring & see how it shoots. I left the stock trigger return spring in but did take it out & clean up the inside where the spring goes.
I have to say that before I did this the double action pull felt grity & was defenetly harder to pull. Now it's smooth & lighter.
I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but I'll let you know if any miss fires occure.
This was the best instruction I found on how to do the trigger job.

Thanks for the tips. I just got a 4" SP-101 & am thinking about dropping down to a 12# hammer spring.
