rusty bubbles
Elvishead-
Thanks for postig the pic of the snubby- sure is compact, and difficult to grab a hold of.-something to think of when dealing with baddies
Doesn't lightening the hammer spring bring with it the risk of cap failure?
[I like mine to have a hefty dent!)
Rusty,
Your welcome.
As I stated in my last post
"And it's reliable, even with harder fire-caps."
it fires every time at the range, as does all my other revolvers with lighter hammer springs.
On my cheap Rossi 461 .357 snub (Back up, of the back up) the spring is now about 11lbs compared to about a 15-16lbs spring that came from the factory. So it's still very firm, but the trigger is quite a bit easier to pull, my guess is around 6-7lbs. Still not light, but not heavy. Gramma can pull it many times, and she is very weak with arthritis.
A hefty dent can also breach the fire-cap and weld the shell to the frame rendering it useless.
On my Airweights with the larger grips, they are comfortable for big, and small hands, and they take up the recoil really well. They also make the gun easier to aim, and aim quickly.
Although the grips are no longer made they can be found floating around on E-bay and such or Budsgunshop.com.
Hope this helps, and good luck
Elvishead
