praetorian97 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Any tips/tricks on how to get rid of stacking on the DA pull? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Trying a 14lb Wolff Hammer with one coil clipped right now. Feels good but will it pop primers is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetorian97 Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 Pencil tested pretty well but so did the 13.8lb Hammer that LPS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrBP79Q5dro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayougump Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I wonder if one were to cut say a 1/2 coil on each end would be any difference than just cutting a whole coil on one end? Or if you were cutting two coils on a spring cutting 1 on each end? Doubt it would but something I've wondered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 When you cut springs just be aware most springs have 1/2 to 1 inactive coils at either end making them flat. They add length to the free length of the spring , but because they don't flex in compression they will not effect the actual rate of the spring. I have always actually been a little confused of what is truly meant by 'stacking'? Do you guys just refer to the way that the trigger pull weight increases as you pull the trigger back?

With the shorter hammer springs in the Tanfoglios, if they are slightly out of spec the coils will bind up when you fully compress them. I've cut every spring I put in my guns (SA or DA) except 1, because they hammer couldn't bottom out. In DA this presents itself as "stacking" and in both DA and SA guns it can slow your slide speed down, causing feeding/extracting issues. Cutting a flat coil doesn't affect the rate, but it will exert less force on the hammer due to it being shortened, and also remove any "stacking" feeling right before the sear breaks.

EngineerEli Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 So is it safe to say that if you can rotate the hammer all the way back till it touches the frame with a smooth linear feel, then your gun is not experiencing stacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
