I ordered a new hammer spring from Wolff Springs. 10 dollars shipped and improves the trigger so much, a no brainer for sure!

Alot of really good info. My grips did not hurt on mine, but maybe I just got lucky. I have since put on the Wolf spring and it is better, but I think I am going to really go after cleaning on this one and get real lube in it. But it is a fun project that I have not had to put a ton of money in. Amd it is history I get to shoot so that is nice. Thanks for supporting the channel!

Pulling the hammer out is only one more step further than changing the hammer spring. Just lightly push out the hammer pivot pin and it falls right out I have found that this pivot hole in the hammer is full of cosmo gunk and rough edges and the source of most of the fiction and binding. I looked closely into mine with a jeweler's loupe to find that the milling was extremely rough and bumpy in there To clean it up I first put a bit of isopropyl alcohol on the tip of a q-tip and shoved it in there and spun it. The q-tip might need a bit of trimming to fit. I was amazed at how much brown gunk came out after repeatedly doing this a half dozen times. Eventually I dabbed a tiny bit of barkeeper's friend on a q-tip and spun it round and round and kept doing that until finally it didn't produce any more brown or black on the q-tip. Inspecting it again with the jeweler's loupe showed a much more polished surface inside although there were still some light tool marks left Sitll it was a much smoother spinning bearing surface than before. I cleaned all of the tiny flakes of cosmo left on the sear engagement shelves with a wood tooth pick. That will help keep the SA trigger from becoming a hair trigger with the lighter spring. Again I used the jeweler's loupe to inspect my work. Don't take off any metal here or alter this, just get the funk out. Cosmo is nasty stuff. I cleaned the hammer pivot pin up with alcohol and lubed it with Lucas assembly lube with molyn and put it back together. It went together with just s bit of wiggling after setting the hammer in place. There js no spring pressure here to fight. Reducing the friction on the hammer pivot made the most difference and I am convinced this is the largest source of heaviness in the Double-Action trigger pull since this pivot is under a whole lot of pressure due to the spring and that crap isn't coming out of there without taking it apart to manually dig it out. Also be sure to add assembly lube on the hammer spring strut where it engages the tiny pin inside the hammer. That pin on one of my hammers was very rough so I put some of the barkeeper's friend paste on that and worked it and the slot in the hammer strut together to polish that pivot as well before I out the hammer back in. That's another pivot point that is under a whole lot of tension and soring force leading to fiction if the mating surfaces are rough and not well lubed as they pivot. Finally, the Wolff hammer spring tends to want to caterpillar as it compresses and this binds a little on the hammer strut. A tiny bit of the moly lube here on that strut should cut down on that too. You can spray brake cleaner,carb cleaner, or electrical contact cleaner into the area around the trigger where it pivots and where it connects to the trigger bar without really needing to remove it. If you are feeling brave you could push out the trigger pivot pin with a toothpick and carefully use the pick as a blind pin and if you are lucky get the pin back in pushing the toothpick back out after lubing it. It's probably just as good to spray with a cleaner and use a penetrating oil. If you do any of this work it is best to do it working inside a large Ziploc bag in case a spring goes spoing. I once had the sear spring pop out when I removed the hammer and had to take all that related stuff apart to get it back in position again. That only happened on one if my P-64's though. It is a little tricky at that level but not all that bad. The P-64 resource org site has a link to a disassembly/reassembly guide with instructions and photos that is invaluable at this point. It can get tricky but IMHO this stuff does more for fixing the DA trigger than swapping the springs. With great risk comes great rewards or something like that.

I have since replaced the hammer spring (under 10 bucks shipped) and it has improved a bunch. I think I am going to ship it down and really clean it and lube it up well. It has been a fun project for me. Sounds like you have a good gun that you have next on your list. I hope it works out well. Thanks for supporting my passion project.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Good information. Thanks for the info. And supporting the channel

It was so much fun doing this video. Thanks for watching and commenting!

The VIS 35 is one of my absolute favorites! Grandpa came home from Vietnam with it like that. If he had it parkarized or if one of the Vietcong had it parkarized we will never know. I am so sad I missed out on the Makarov when they were that cheap You live you learn.
