Hi Friends,
Without giving you all a history lesson, I haven't worked on a firearm in 50 years but I'm relatively handy in the shop. I have a box stock SP 101 that has been my wife's bedside defense arm for 20 years. I have replaced the originals stocks with a Hogue monoblock grip. The action is butter smooth with no creep, no over travel, etc but it is very stiff (strong), the hammer spur has painfully sharp edges and there is a sharp edge on the trigger that bites me every time I shoot it in single action. My plan is to put in a Wolf spring kit with 9# hammer spring and 8# trigger return spring, grind and polish the hammer spur and chamfer the sharp edge on the trigger. I have a Dremel 4200 with a flex attachment for the grinding/polishing work. My intention is to make this weapon a 3 season concealed carry piece. I should mention that I have moderate arthritis in my hands. Any upfront suggestions or cautions for this old goat?
