A gunsmith once did this for me and the result was pretty good, not quite as smooth or light as a Wolf, but noticeably better than before. Also, this bent spring gave me a trigger pull that was a bit heavier than a Wolf spring and worked with primers that were too hard for that particular gun using a Wolf reduced power mainspring.
I got a nylon wedge from Brownells (that they advertise for this purpose) but I don't know how to use it.
Thanks for any advice you all can provide!

Post #2 is your answer!
Works well, but you will have to play with the amount of arch you put in to get what you want.
Remember this is all done at room temperature, no heat involved at all.
