Taurus model 94 hammer spring

[Ailog]

I have seen some posts on this model about the heavy trigger and hammer pull. I had one with the same issue (.22 short barrel). I bought a Wolf spring and installed it (eventhough Wolf does not recommend it for this model). I found out the reason why. With the new spring the gun will fire in single action, but double action it is unreliable due to light hammer strike. And the reason is in double action the hammer only goes back about 2/3 of the distance it does in single action mode. Looking at the workings that's the way its designed. So it must used the stronger factory spring to be reliable in eithor mode. It was a nice shooting gun but it gave my hand/thumb a heck of a time cocking the hammer repeatedly during some range shooting. Anyway that's my observation.

If anybody posts and I don't reply right away its because I will be on only intermittantly over the next week or so.

That's why i traded mine in on an XD40.

I've had several Taurus revolvers, over the years, and one of the first things I learned about 'em was that in order to lighten the trigger pull, without compromising reliability, you have to lighten both the main (hammer) spring, and the trigger return spring. ( A little bit from each one, rather that a lot from either. There has to be a balance there, otherwise you get either light strikes, or a trigger that sticks and doesn't return. )

Honestly though, I think the trigger return spring is more responsible for a Taurus revolver's heavy trigger pull than the mainspring is.

One other thing you need to know; the trigger return spring is not one you can just cut down. You'll have to replace it with a lighter one.

It takes a harder blow to fire a rimfire cartridge than centerfire, which is why they recommended against a softer spring for the .22. Skeeter Skelton said he preferred .38 to .22 for aerial and other trick shooting for that reason.
