Cop369...order a complete spring set from www.gunsprings.com for your pony, x-power recoil and firing pin spring and reduced power hammer spring.

You will not believe the difference in trigger pull/shootability. Feals like you've had a complete action job...

Hi CC......and welcome to TFF.

Thanks for the info.

Yup, Wolff makes high quality springs. Many of us who shoot M1911's in competition swear by them.

Hey CC where does one find the directions on how to install the new hammer spring ?? Got one and have no idea how to get the darn thing in place..

bompa...My local gunsmith put the hammer spring in, it took him less than 10 mins to do.

It looked real easy,but after he took off the grip panels he lost me it came apart so fast.

The difference really is incredable, I highly reccomend the spring change to any one that has a colt pony.

Is there a shop or a gun smith near by you??

bompa, not sure were your at but I use this and am very supprised to find what is around me.

go to www.switchboard.com put in your state, under buisiness use the search key, double click on G, then double click gunsmiths and it will bring up all the gunsmiths/dealers in your state.
