Default triple lock hand spring

I am having trouble reinstalling the trigger on a triple lock. It seems the spring for the hand is different than other N frames. Is this correct. What do I need to do spring tension on the hand. There is a pawl that extends out of the back of the trigger, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.

thanks
Charlie

On the older triggers I have, there is a lever that is powered by a coil spring in the front that pushes down on the hand at the back. You just depress the front of the lever to get the hand back in. I don't know if the triple lock trigger has the same design or not.

Got it. Thanks Mr. Protocol. I was trying to capture the wrong lever. When I pushed down on the front of the spring, the correct lever popped up. I then only had to do the three handed maneuver to put it under spring pressure.

So Gil, if you ever need any help with your triple lock, just call.
I can probably find someone to help.
