Swap the springs and do a bit of polishing and it goes from a tight functional art object to a smooth shooter. 5lb. trigger reduction is significant.

FYI, everybody should own one of the SP or GP series. Just a quality functional design.

Yes , and a welcome from western Pa. too.

I have a 4" Sp . One of the newer ones , .357 . I did swap springs , and "cleaned" up the insides some ....really made a difference. I also bought a different grip. Went with a Hogue wood , finger groove. That made a difference also. Good luck. Oh and BTW ...with full house .357s , its handful. I've been loading 125 gr XTPs to .38 sp. ++P loads. ( little over 1000 fps ) They handle very nicely , easier to shoot , and I think will still do the job if needed.

I load 158 grain lead semi wadcutters over 5.8 gr of Unique for target shooting in 357. About 900-925 fps.....Accurate and easy recoil.

I see no reason for 38 Spl when reloading as costs are the same.
