Lightest reliable rebound spring weight K/L/N frames?

[TAROMAN]

If the action is slicked up well, 13 pounds is as low as I go.
For the worriers, I sent a NY-1 Model 64 back to the mothership for their combat action job.
Guess what they installed? Wolff springs.

I use a 13 lb. spring. There should be enough spring force to return the trigger quickly and smoothly to the start position. Your finger should not have to wait for the trigger to catch up to it.

The lightest rebound springs that I get reliable ignition with is normally 13 pounds, but occasionally it is 14 pounds. The 12 pounders always give me inconsistent ignition, and occasionally failure to reset the trigger.

Rebound has nothing to do with ignition. That's the mainsprings job.

Reset is the rebounds job.

What I'd REALLY like to be able to do is try one each of the 11lb and 12lb springs before I place my order for the pack, but of course they're not available individually!

Go directly to the Wolff Springs web site. As I recall you can purchase individual springs in whatever tension you like.

Thanks for the suggestion, I should have thought of that! I'll definitely check out the Wolff website, although based on what I'm reading here, it seems as though most folks don't seem to go below 13lb. Still, it would be nice to be able to experiment for myself.

Thanks,
Lou
