PA-63 Nine Pound Hammer Spring?

gunneyrabbit · Post by **gunneyrabbit** » June 25th, 2007, 8:32 pm

Hello all,
I ordered a set of three reduced power hammer springs from Wolff Gun Springs, nine, eleven, and thirteen pounds. What I got was three nine pound springs and that is the second time I have received something other than what I ordered from Wolff Gun Springs. :-/
I just replaced the factory hammer spring with one of the nine pounders and the trigger is a dream. My only concern is that I won't get guaranteed ignition, that was the reason for the order of different weight springs. Has any one else used the nine pound spring replacement, if so, how has it worked for you?
Thanks in advance for for your replys.

I have five 9# PA-63 hammer springs and two 15 # recoil springs

the 9# hammer springs I have them in 2 BR-61's in 1 LR-61 and 2 PA-63's
haven't had one miss fire yet, the two 15# recoil springs are in the PA-63's

Norm,
Thanks for the reply, I'm taking off for the range this morning at ten o:clock and will post a report this afternoon. The only thing that I dislike about the pistol is the grooved trigger and I'm hoping the new lighter spring will alter my perception. If that doesn't work I guess I will be looking for a smooth trigger or will be forced to alter the existing. Thanks again for the input, your experience and expertise is always appreciated by every one here at the forum..

I'm not crazy about the groves in the trigger also but with the lighter hammer spring its not to bad, I've even thought about grinding them off

Range report has to wait until tomorrow, Federal Marshals were qualifying today. When we got to the range the parking lot was full and more fellows waiting to get in to do their yearly qualifications. My range partner, Fairly Honest Ed, suggested that we try again tomorrow morning and that sounded like a good idea to me, will post results tomorrow evening.

P.S.
Norm, If the trigger feels as good after 100 rounds as it does now I won't mess with it. If it still bothers metal reduction of the ribs will be the next step in this project.
Got a price from Chris to do the grips, he thought for sure it was going to be for the P64. States he will need a set of factory grips to do the thumb rest for the P-63. I decided to do the P64 first and the P-63 when those return. Who knows, I may do flat grips for the replacement
