Installed one in my model 19-9 classic, the gun has 750 rounds fired and the heaviest pull of all my Smith wheelguns.
My trigger pull gauge showed a average of 5.5 SA and over 12 lbs DA, so high the gauge couldn’t read it.
The kit came with a Hammer spring and three trigger return springs in 12, 13 and 14 lbs. of course I installed the 12 lb spring.
Installation is straight forward and simple, biggest concern not scratching the blue side plate. Lots of vids on the line…Vince Vaughan jk.
Results SA average of 3 lbs, DA average of 7.5…huge difference. Haven’t shot her yet, but did check ignition with a live primer only shell casing in DA, fired with deep penetration of the primer. But still need to confirm with live ammo, will do next week.
Now do I want to put a kit in my model 19 carry comp. It is a S&W performance shop gun and comes with a better trigger then the 19 classic. The SA pull is roughly the same as the stock 19 classic at around 5.5, the DA pull is much better at 9.5 not too bad.
But 2-2.5 higher then the 19 classic with the WC kit, now I do carry the 19 CC. Not often but occasionally. I’ll think this over more after range testing the classic.
For $14 it’s a hell of a difference and an easy install if you have a Smith with a too heavy trigger. Final thought, I’m most likely going to take the 12 lb trigger return spring out and put the 14 in. While the trigger does return fine, I like it to return a little harder then it does with the 12…put the 13lb spring in much better.
