Andy,

Be exceptionally careful with spring kits on two levels. First, while you may reduce the pull weight you may also reduce the hammer force against the primer. Misfires will result. I've had it happen to me with a couple of guns from different manufacturers. Secondly, if your new Ruger will be used for regular defensive carry, a less-than-honorable prosecutor might make a grand great deal out of your "hair trigger Magnum." Theoretically it could be the difference between a justifiable shooting and time behind bars as Bubba's girlfriend.

I believe I've answered this question before. I too had my suspicions that subjects like this and handloads for defense were creations of the gunzine biz. That was until a friend showed me a copy of Combat Handguns circa 1993 or so, where Mas Ayoob DID show examples of each and how they made life a living Hades for the defendants. And as Alk8944 points out, in a couple of these cases that Ayoob was personally aware of the world came apart in the civil action after a justifiable shooting.

Hey, it's still a semi-free country. If someone wants to chance it, by all means use your customized psitol. I hope you are never in a situation where it may come back to haunt you. Me, I'll stick to a stock gun of quality in the first place.
