BadShot Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) I got an email about this from TK Custom(Adjustable Coil Spring Speed Hammer Kit for S&W N-Frame - TK Custom). In this time of spotty primer availability, it might be an interesting way to adjust spring tension. Edited January 8, 2021 by BadShot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) After sleeping on it, I am retracting everything I said. TK Custom is a top drawer company, and their products have always been best of show. This hammer probably is too. It should be judged on it's own merits over the course of time, not just one person's first impression. I wish them All the Best.

BadShot Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I only have S&W revolvers, are other brands coil springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadShot Posted January 9, 2021 Author Share Posted January 9, 2021 47 minutes ago, Toolguy said: Looking at the geometry, I would think that one would stack quite a bit. "Stacking" is where a coil spring gets harder to push the more you compress it. It will be interesting to see how that one works out. Okay Warren, not trying to be argumentative, what in the geometry do you see that would cause excessive stacking? It looks like they added a couple more friction points.

AzShooter Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Charlie Prest, the guy that started this 8-shot revolution was my sponsor years ago. He did a coil spring conversion on my 625 that improved the trigger a lot. This was when a 7 pound trigger was considered as low as you could go. I had no problems busting Federal and Winchester primers. This conversion looks an awful lot like Charlie's. It will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 In the shotgun world Perazzi shotguns are considered amoung the finest. They can be had with coil springs, or leaf springs. Your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It says it's adjustable from 6.5 to 9. My 627 is already at 6.5, and if I need any more spring tension I just screw in the strain screw. Isn't that what you guys do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not clear, but I assume the inside of the grip frame needs to be machined to fit that big huge spring base? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to add a slightly longer strain screw and depending on how much added a heavier rebound spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The frames are already like that from the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory it will provide both a wider range of adjustment and a wider range of available spring rates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniele Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 It seems to me an expensive Taurus' copy, which was a cheap alternative at S&W leaf spring.. I had on my S&W revo a little disc between spring and screw when shooting training with cheap primer, without the disc when shooting Federal or Murom S primers.

-JCN- Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Any updates on this? Also, there’s no modification possible to shorten the DA trigger pull right? There is a geometry change for CZ Shadows to shorten the pull. I don’t think I’ve heard of anything for a revolver, but I’d love that option.
