Living off the land

These J frames come with a coil mainspring that is very, very heavy. I replaced the one in my 1981 Kit-gun with a lighter aftermarket spring. That cured the problem of a heavy action. I think it was proably a Trapper spring, but I do not remember for certain. I may have bobed off a coil or two for that matter. At any rate, I did lighten the spring one way or another.
