Spring Kit for New Bodyguard BG38

[Edmo]

Anyone know of a spring kit source for S&W's newest 38 Special revolver? I've searched around, but have only come up with the standard S&W J-frame kits.

I think a little tweaking will lighten this trigger nicely and make this already sweet little gun even sweeter!

There is something callled an Apex Kit but I've never used one. IMHO you are taking unnecessary chances modifying the innards of any self defense gun. While I do modify range-only guns my solution for SD weapons is to shoot the devil out of them. My M&P 340, purchased two weeks ago, is already lighter and smoother after 300 rounds.

Please understand I am not knocking what others do, but when my life is on the line (I've had this experience during my LEO career) I trust the factory folks and learn to use 'em the way they come out of the box.

Have you tried Wolf?

Go to the Midway USA web site, look up Wolff Spring Kits in the Gunsmithing area, all you need is one for a J-Frame, it'll fit all of the J-Frame revolvers.
I put a Wolff spring kind in my 642, 8# hammer, 13# rebound and it works great. Just make sure to polish up the part that the rebound spring goes into, you need to take a stone to both sides and the bottom, you can also polish up the DA sears while you're in there if you like. Don't touch the SA sear on the hammer though, they're already pretty good and you don't want to mess it up. Good luck.

You may be right, however I believe the inner workings on the BG38 are different than the standard J-frame revolvers. This is the stainless/aluminum/polymer version of the J-frame with a different cylinder release and rotation mechanism. It has a hidden hammer and is DAO. They also decided to spin the cylinder the other way.
