i made a video from my last trip to the range after having replaced the rebound slide spring with a spare 13 lb wolff spring i had left over from a previous spring kit. the DA pull lightens up quite a bit but not too light.

it may not look pretty but i really like shooting this gun. i like the grips on these older smiths. my newer production classic series 586 had beautiful grips but was too thin at the upper part i had to replace it with an ugly hogue rubber grip to shoot it better.

i only go through a couple of cylinders each trip when i try shooting faster without staging so that really doesn't get better but it gives me an idea how much the spread of my shots will be at 10yrds. i shot more of my 148 hr HBWC and a mid range 357 mag load with xtreme 158 gr with cfe pistol. i have to load more 38 spcls. i shot paper at 10 yrds and shot an 8 inch gong at 25 yrds. the DA is very manageable it wasn't difficult to shoot the gong one handed left and right.

 
Good shooting. Looks like Albuquerque city gun range, am headed there tomorrow.
