I change out the recoil spring to a new factory std. weight and the hammer spring to one 2lbs. lighter than stock all from Wolff Springs. This makes a nice trigger even better with confidence that the new recoil spring should keep the reliability going. Never had any problems with our 3rd gen guns. Nice shooters. Even new folks/guest shooters like them.

Had a 4043 and 4053 when I was into 40 s & w and a 5946 that one of my brothers has. A niece also got a 6946 that was mine and had a 45 acp compact DAO model I can't remember. Now mostly shoot 9mm as my joints are getting tired. All my past and present 3rd gens are great reliable guns which is why they are on duty as carry and home defense weapons.
