S&W 629-4
I bought a nice -4 that came with Wolff springs installed. It has the reduced power rib and a #13 rebound. To eliminate/reduce light strikes, can I switch the rebound spring to say #15 or #16?
I have not shot this gun yet, but I hear there might be light strikes with commercial ammo. I would like to eliminate or reduce as much as possible.
Thanks
Eddie

What?!? Without a picture I have no idea what your talking about...
Just messing with you. We do like pics though!
I wouldn't worry about the springs AT ALL until after you shoot it and have some issue with it. Don't worry, be happy!

Surely shoot it, but I'm at a point when I buy a revolver I almost know immediately if it has had springs swapped out or been played with. Then I go to the range and have failures. Then I normally will put factory springs back, always the factory mainspring and typically the rebound spring. Then I'm a happy camper.

Shoot it first and see if there is a problem, if not, enjoy the lighter trigger.

The rebound spring has nothing to do with light strikes. The rebound spring is a trigger return spring. The mainspring is what drives the hammer forward to ignite the cartridge.

I was lucky enough to locate a 629-4 a few months ago and it has become my favorite revolver by far. It is an absolute joy to shoot, powerful and accurate, but not the beast that my Ruger .44 magnum was.
I may have just gotten lucky, but this gun is stock (except for the grips) and I would not change a thing in terms of the action. It is the first big bore revolver that I have owned that I enjoy "plinking" with.
I bought this gun to dispatch wounded wild hogs with on my farm, and it serves extremely well in that capacity, but I find myself shooting it more and more just for fun.
I hope yours servers you just as well. It is a superb revolver.

Thanks. I will shoot it when I get my hands on some ammo. Hopefully it functions perfectly. I will have to put the original springs in there.
