I want my guns to fire any round I put in them that comes from a factory or is assembled with quality components.
I do not select primers or ammunition with easily initiated primers to accommodate the mods I did to a gun. See sentence #1.
I have updated or changed springs in my single action revolvers, primarily in original model Vaqueros to accommodate easier, not faster, hammer engagement but I only installed slightly lighter hammer springs and replaced the trigger springs and polished up some surfaces so that both matched and the guns operated identically. But! See sentence #1
In my DA revolvers I have not changed any springs, but I am considering trying a new spring set in a couple of my J frames to lighten the trigger pull. But, I am not sure if I am going to do that though. I do have at least one of each factory spring for each of my S&W revolvers in case I ever break one or one becomes too weak.
I don’t change parts for the sake of changing parts. If a gun has an issue I do what is needed to fix that issue. If the gun will not work for me without lots of mods or updates it goes.
Somehow changing springs and swapping parts out of perfectly good and well engineered firearms parts has become the norm. I really don’t get that.
My motto is, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Years ago I bought a Colt 1991A1 pistol. Some friends of mine convinced me that I needed this beavertail, that hammer spring, this sear spring, that hammer, this trigger, yada, yada, yada...
My gun was unreliable. I kept trying this and trying that but I kept having problems.
One day my wife was in my garage while I was working on it yet again all the while complaining. She said “So how did it shoot with all its original parts?”
“Just fine”
“So why not put them back?”
Duuuuuhhhh
“Okay , but I have a lot of money into this and Blah...Blah...Blah...”
I put the factory parts back. Wouldn’t ya know it, the darn thing worked great! Lesson learned.
Now I only make changes where changes are truly needed.
