    Tritium sights from Novak showed up last week, Using a sight tool left over from installing Dawson sights, I got them out.. The MC was pretty tight, Clamped up in my vise, I had to use a 12oz hammer to get them out, 3 good wacks did it. On my 3” .44 special, they came out with the 8oz hammer, I didn’t put any locktite in the dovetails, as tight as they were I didn’t feel they needed any. Taking both to the range they were both dead on, and about a light year ahead of the green blobs that Novak calls fiber optics... It was really a huge, huge, improvement. Now that they both have very usable sights, I’m finding out these are both pretty dammed accurate revolvers.

    Caleb, will the same spring rates work in SP101s?🙂

    I don't know, actually I've never really done a lot of work on the little metal Rugers.

    I'm running my SO101 with the 10 pound level main spring, and the 9 lb. trigger return spring. This is with the spurless DAO hammer. A spurred hammer, being heavier, would give you a little more margin. I can run my GP100s' at 9 lbs. or a bit less, but that level with the SP101 had too many misfires. Bottom line is that every gun is an individual, so you won't know until you try it.

    I installed the Wilson Combat spring kit today. The kit came with 3 main springs (9, 10, and 12 lbs.) and 2 trigger return springs (8 and 10 lbs.). I used the 10 lb. hammer spring and the 10 lb. trigger return spring.

    The OEM trigger weight was 10 lbs. 0.5 oz. After the kit installation, the trigger weight is 8 lbs. 0.2 oz. I had no failures to fire with the first 50 rounds using Federal primers.

    New sights + new springs = better pistol.
