earthshine402 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 What is the general consensus on using Wolff springs vs the EGD Xtreme springs for the hammer spring and firing pin spring? Both offer light versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I used to run the Wolf and tried many different combos along with clipping coils etc. and I still got light strikes. Ever since I put the EG light hammer and FP springs in my Stock II's I haven't had a single light strike that I remember. And I didn't pile up extra trigger pull weight in the process. The trigger feels the same if not better with the EG than the Wolff combos but just my personal opinion and my experiences. Being reliable is what will keep me using them but I would also say it wouldn't be bad to add a Henning XL firing pin with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy and me are both setting up our new Stock 2's.. and want to go the "budget trigger job" route first.. our research pointed highly to these spring upgrades and I was curious about the difference. We are leaning against getting the delta hammer upgrade at the start.. seeing how good it can get with some more affordable upgrades.. Thanks.. Edit: did you need to get the extended firing pin block also? There is some mention of it on some parts websites that you need this when upgrading to the Henning firing pin.

Prov1x Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 No there isn't a need to get the extended firing pin block. I run the regular one in both my stock 2 and 3 with the henning firing pins in both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stician Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I just did the low budget EGD springs, polish and Henning XL FP job. I understand an Xtreme hammer will lower the SA pull a little more but does it clean up the feel as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yes the extreme hammer should help with a shorter/crisper sa break as the hooks are smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fellas Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I use the factory ones and like bayougump said for i prefer functionality than anything andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I have used both the factory and delta hammers and I ended up putting the Delta in both my Stock II's and in my New Stock III and I think the hammer is a worthy upgrade. Is it an absolute necessity? I guess not but to me if you want to get the most out of your Tanfo then the hammer does make a difference. It does give the SA a crisper feel and supposedly does hit the firing pin with a little more ummphhh which just adds reliability. I found out the hard way on how easily light strikes can occur when I got my first Tanfo and was chasing the "awesome light trigger" and you gotta find a way to balance things out. Enough of my rambling, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetskidawg Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 On Ben's site he has a spring kit which has a reduced power recoil spring and a stiffer firing pin spring. Wouldn't a heavier fp spring make it more likely to have light strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
