Out of this kit I used:
Power Rib Mainspring / Type 2 - Reduced Power
14 Lb Reduced Power Rebound Spring

Before installing the rebound slide, I lightly polished the inner frame area - where the rebound rides back & forth. Aside from clean & lube, didn't touch anything else.

A lot of guys get nervous about the reduced power mainspring - especially for carry guns, but w/ this revolver, I've experienced no light strike issues w/ WW, CCI, & Fed primers.

I did have a M64 k frame, that had light DA primer strikes (SA no problem) w/ a RP ribbed mainspring, but as it turned out, the headspace was slightly out of spec - on the wide side. Frank at LSG (up in Comanche) addressed the headspace issue, & the DA light strikes went away.

Could be mistaken, but I think that Brownells also markets a kit w/ a full power (Type 1 maybe?) ribbed Wolff mainspring.
