We don't have any gunsmiths here who specialize in revolvers, not since HPD went from 15/67s to 5906/Glock 17.
It can cost upwards of $200 round trip just to send a revolver to a smith--FedEx or UPS overnight/next day air, so that's the major factor in trying a $15 spring kit. So far it has worked for me, but I have no delusions about reliability--they have to go bang every time.

Totally agree -- reliability has to be perfect. I don't want a revolver that can only work reliably with soft primers. My limited experience is that replacing the trigger rebound spring is more likely to affect reliability than the mainspring. YMMV.
