'Variety" spring pack?

[froggy47]

I'd like to lighten both the hammer and trigger spring on my Security six .357 used for target.

If I order them one at a time & try them etc. with the shipping & handling I'll be out almost a c note before I'm done.

Isn't there a spring mfg. that will sell a variety pack with the most common/popular lighter springs for my revolver?

I called Wolfe but the receptionist lady wasn't all that helpful. These are not parts off the Space Shuttle, just springs.



I'd like 2 trigger springs lighter and 2 hammer lighter so I could tune it to my liking. Not trying for a hair trigger, just a little better.

The Wolff Shooters Pak for the Security Six is just a 14 lb hammer spring and a lighter trigger spring. If you get the GP100 Shooters Pak, you get 3 lighter hammer springs (can be used on the Six series guns) but the trigger springs in the pack won't do you any good as they are specific for the GP100's and different than the Sixes trigger springs.

You could also check eBay, Amazon and Gunbroker to see if anyone has/is selling the Bullseye spring pack for the Six series guns, IIRC it give you a few hammer and trigger springs to try.

Buy the GP-100 Shooters Pak and a the single lower power trigger return spring for the Security Six. The total will be about $16 + shipping.

Will do, thanks guys/all very helpful forum.

I put the Hogue grip on, it's a little big at the back strap but not bad. If I try to trim it it'll probably look worse.

I ordered the 3 pack of trigger springs, all the same. Maybe there is a way I can try different techniques to make a spring change it's tension.

I like to experiment (safely).

Wolff sells a variety of spring packs for general use. You should be able to make nearly any coil spring that you need from their selection. Here a links to a few at Brownells.

I did what RoninPA recommends. The set of coil springs recommended by Enigma may work for the mainspring but do no good for the trigger return spring. Currently, I use the reduced power Wolff trigger return spring with a 10 mainspring out of the GP/SP spring set. I have heard that with proper smoothing and tolerances the 9 lb mainspring should work and will try it in the future. Also, be aware that Wolff sells separate mainsprings and you can get an 11 lb mainspring which is not in the spring set (it has 9, 10 and 12 lb ones).

So for the trigger return spring, why would you want/need to lighten it?

If you lighten the trigger return spring it will lighten the trigger pull. If you lighten it too much there may be trouble with the trigger returning to the correct position.

I have found with Rugers that the hammer spring reduction does plenty for the trigger pull and never felt the need to mess with the return spring. A quick positive reset is more important to me in a defense gun than a tenth of an ounce in trigger pull weight.

Thanks, in California I don't get to carry, but still I think I'll leave the return spring as is, ok. A solid trig reset is good when shooting paper etc.

As several members can testify, slicking the action can lighten a lot of the pull that you feel. Not that hard, and tons of videos to make sure an amateur can't go wrong. Plus, it helps you know the gun better.

Noob here, now of course it makes sense. You are compressing the return spring as you pull. Duh.
