I immediately change the springs on my Rugers for Wolff and the triggers are great. I had a 586 and a 629 and a Model 19, All have been replaced by the Rugers. My Model 60 (.357) will probably stay with me to the end.

There was nothing wrong with the 586 (except the stupid key lock) Great shooter, just didn't care for the sound it made when I dry fired it compared to the pre-lock ones.

The 629 was pre-lock and absolutely a wonderful gun but someone made me an offer I could not refuse. I had gotten it cheap because I had to do some minor repairs on the works. I would have probably not let it go except I really prefer my .44 Ruger GP100 which is a special edition Lipsey 5".
