[JPB]

I have 2 revolvers that need broken hand springs replaced. I would like to send these to a qualified smith for repair…who do you recommend?

If you order the parts it isn’t too difficult to replace them yourself.

I replaced all my springs before I ever fired it.
Mine was made in 2000, and I have no idea what condition they were in after 22 years.
I also doubled the main spring with a lighten one, just to stiffen it up, and it did a very good job.

You can do it, just need some darn good screw drivers.

I must be getting old, seems I just answered this a few hours ago.
Are there two threads?

Well, practically unbreakable, as anything mechanical can break ,even coil, piano wire coil/ torsion and high chrome flat springs ! I've seen all three fail on occasion when severely abused but they almost never let you down in gun application .

That’s just what I was going to write!

I have made a couple of hand springs from bobby pins. They have never failed.
