double action pull down to around 8 pounds but
I have no experience with leaf spring models, but the j frames I've been working on 8lbs is very difficult to do. 9 or 10lbs is a more reasonable goal and you avoid primer issues. Newer J frames I've tested all seem to have 12 to 13lb DA pulls. Older ones, more like 11-12lbs. Some spring kits, out of the package, will render about a 1 to 2lb reduction in DA pull depending on which rebound spring you use. Minor, I mean VERY minor stoning on the DA surfaces and the rebound slide will get another .5 to 1lb reduction. The forged rebound slides hardly need any work at all. The MIM rebound slides are rough as heck.
