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!
