I recently purchased a 19-5 Nickel Plated 6"

I am thinking of doing a spring kit upgrade.

I can't decide which would be a better kit to purchase.

I worry that if I make the trigger pull too light that I may have misfires. I would like for my girlfriend to enjoy shooting this gun, it will be her first firearms experience. So The lighter the pull, the better without hurting performance is what I am looking for.

Does anyone out there have any advice on this?

Wolff Shooter's Spring Pack TYPE-1 Standard Power Mainspring S&W K L N-Frame

Wolff Shooter's Spring Pack TYPE-2 Reduced Power Mainspring S&W K L N-Frame

I picked up the firearm yesterday and have been up all day and night watching videos on youtube and reading forums on various things.

I am 100% that I KNOW this weapon, and am ready to make it even better than it already is.

Thank you for your time.

There is this possibility:

I normaly put the Wolf Type 2 Reduced Power Mainsprings in Smith & Wesson revolvers myself now days. The Trigger Rebound Springs that come with the Wolfe Spring Pak that Midway sells should be 13, 14, and 15 pound. Wolfe also makes and 11, and a 12 pound rebound spring that Midway carries listed seperately. Looking in my S&W parts drawer I have several Rebound Springs that are 14 and 15 pound left over. Looks like I am using the 13's on about everyone I work on.

I have another set of Rebound Springs that are all in a longer plastic tube heat sealed between the springs. They are marked 12, 13, 14 with a majic marker. This Spring Pak might be a Wilson Combat. I used the 12 pound out of it. Best I remember this Spring Pak did not have the ribbed main spring. I am not sure what gun I put this Spring Pak in, but I do not recall any issues with it.


Wolfe makes some quality springs. If I remember correctly Brownells had Ron Power of Power Custom test the Spring Pak out a few years ago. Ron has a trigger pull machine to cycle revolvers. He uses it to break a revolver in after an action job. The Trigger Pull Machine has a counter on it. I believe Ron pulled the trigger on a S&W revolver with the Wolfe Spring Pak installed 140,000 times during the test. The Wolfe springs did not change weight during the test. Clean Bill of Health.

Ron worked on the daughter in laws new 64-1 House Gun last weekend for me. He cycled it 500 times before leaving the shop. Ron had it running like a K Frame Swiss Watch when I left. This older 64-1 was someones safe queen, and had not been fired much at all.

If you are ordering from Midway you might want to get the Spring Pak, and also a 12 pound Rebound Spring to try. If the gun runs sluggish or the trigger does not want to return with the 12 pound spring, put a heavier rebound spring in it.

NOTE #1: Do not pry the side plate off. I normally wrap it a few times on the grip frame with a plastic screwdriver handle or plastic mallet until it pops off.

NOTE #2: Most You Tube vidio's on cracking open a S&W do not cover reassembly worth a hoot. Put the Transfer Bar in the Up Position before reinstalling the side plate pushing the plate in place with your fingers. Look the side plate over, It should start in on the top side first.

NOTE #3: Get a piece of cardboard and poke 3 small holes in it. Mark UP on the cardboard. Now put the side plate screws in the holes just like them come out of the side plate. This way you will not mix them up. If working on an older gun with a 4 screw side plate, draw the plate on the card board, and poke the holes in the correct places on the drawing.

NOTE #4: When cleaning check the Main Spring Strain Screw to make sure it is tight. It can back off if you shoot a lot. I normally check the side plate screws also, if I am not taking the side plate off for a complete cleaning.


Have a Very Merry Christmas
