    RFI: Wilson Spring Kit for S&W 66-2

    I went full retro the other day: http://www.gunbroker.com/item/664893305. I've since added some VZ 320 grips https://vzgrips.com/pistol-grips/smi...d-bottoms/320s and ordered a Wilson spring kit http://shopwilsoncombat.com/Custom-T...oductinfo/178/. Does anyone have long-term experience with the Wilson spring kit, or others? I'm looking specifically for any issues with primer ignition. With thanks from the Big Empty, ELN.

    The kit looks identical to the Wolff kits.

    In my k-frames, I left the hammer spring alone and went with a 1 step lighter trigger return spring. The result is a lighter trigger with no effect on ignition reliability.

    It depends a lot on the individual gun. On my new 66-8 I was getting light primer strikes with the Wilson spring set AND with the factory springs. So back to the mother ship it went.

    Since getting it back, everything goes boom like it's supposed to. I'm using the Wilson main spring and the 12# return spring in my 66-8. I also have the Wilson main + 13# return in my 686-4.
