Wolff spring kits are a little hard to come by at the moment. Have any of you had experience with non gun springs to replace the Wolff reduced power springs in a GP100?
Here in Phoenix I have access to several large stores that sell nuts bolts and springs. I suspect that I could find a suitable replacement for a Wolff hammer spring in the 8 to 10 pound range...if I knew what I was actually looking for.
Have any of you run a spring compression test on a standard hammer spring? If so, would you have figures that would help a retail salesperson find a suitable replacement?
