I think that will be the next step for me. We have a talented local gun smith. I don't think I would try to install it ... I like the gun too much to mess it up

Thanks ... I think I'll just shoot it as is. When I bought the gun, the clerk said he had the same model (686+ unfluted cylinder, 5") and he had put lighter springs ... When I took the CCW permit class from him, we used his gun. His gun had several light strikes during the session. I took...
