How tight do you like your spring?

Post by Amconk »

How tight do you like your trigger spring? Personally, I have always taken mine off and turned them an extra turn if possible, to make the spring tighter. I like the quick action, and I’ve always felt like the horn responded better with the tighter and faster spring. I’ve never really seen any drawbacks to this, except it takes more pressure to engage the lever, so for someone with troubles with arthritis or weak hands, I can see it being a problem.
