Other than the round hammer of the 68,are there any other differences between the 68 and the 73?

round hammers have a longer firing pin than the triangle hammered guns

Norm, what about the DA trigger pulls? My one round hammer's is much worse than on my others?

No spring change, my experience is that the standard round hammer DA trigger pull is much heavier than the standard DA trigger pull of the triangular hammer versions.

you might be right I don't know , in all 4 of mine I've change the springs in them as soon as I got them

it maybe to compensate for the heaver hammer in the triangular hammer versions to put a lighter spring in it with the shorter firing pin, your guess is as good as mine
