Lightest hammer spring in da/sa tanfo

[e-mishka]

With fp block in place and factory firing pin what's the lightest hammer sping you guys use with reloaded ammo?

I was able to put 13# spring in my stock 2 with polished fpb and polished, lightened and extended factory FP( added a bit to the back), shortened fp spring, and a nice trigger/hammer/sear job.

Seems to go bang every time with winchester primers in da or sa mode.

13 lb hammer spring cut 1.5 coils off firing pin spring, stock firing pin. sets off cci and wolf primers

Before gunsmith welded up back of the FP, I was getting light strikes with 14# spring in da mode, sa had no issues. Now after mods, even in da mode with 13# no issues.

Hope it works for you...I took a firing pin spring out of tanfoglio recently. Cutting the coil would be ok for maybe 2 or 3..but just don't go overboard. You could find yourself with a firing pin stuck in the breach hole.

Mo is right I have taken to many off before and had the pin stick in the breach face (its amazing how far in it go's) that's why I stop at 1.5 to 2 coils now, I only do it because I'm to cheep to buy US name brand primers all the time and it makes just enough difference to let me run the Tula's I bought in bulk.
