Thank you for this great and the excellent, always infocus camera work. FYI, Wheeler does make a special little tool to remove the trigger return spring so it doesn't fly away on you. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
You just snug it down. Now you can loosen it to your liking and use blue locktite but you will have to test the revolver put in double action at range to make sure you do not get light hammer strikes
You actually use the tip of the screwdriver on the return spring. Sneak it beside the pin to lift it half way off, then put it horizontal to compress the top of the spring and lift it off the pin.
Terry, Terry, Terry, what tools are you using. You should be using hollow ground screw driver. Gunsmith screw driver like from Wheeler. That screw driver looks like a Craftsman screw driver. Great presentation !!!!!!!! Ricky from IBM ENglewood, FL
There are many good videos on how to disassemble a S+W revolver. This is not one of them. I think my favorite part was when he used the metal end of the hammer to tap the side plate back on. Either that or banging the cylinder back and forth to get it off. It was all pretty terrible.
@@TerryBenton I don’t need to. Like I said there are already many very good videos covering the topic. gunblue490 has an excellent video on SW disassembly, he went to S+W armourer class and can be regarded as an expert in the subject. Iraqveteran8888 also has a video with a gunsmith taking apart and reassembling a Model 29. There’s a few more out there, but those are the ones that I watch just prior to taking apart any of my Smiths to put in reduced power springs just like you did, and occasionally a detailed complete tear down. I wouldn’t make a video of myself doing a tear down because I’m not an expert, just an informed hobbyist that learns by others more accomplished. As someone once said (while holding a S+W Model 29), “A man’s got to know his limitations” Do you?
you say to USE CORRECT screwdrivers......yet YOU are no where near using correct screwdrivers...(or any tools) correct way to do this is COMPLETE disassembly, not tweeking parts and bending/ forcing or dental picks to get the spring where you want it...
@johnsmedile4146 you should make a video and show us all how to correctly do it. I bet younwould get alot of views and people subscribing to you. You coukd change the world

Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching. I will look into that tool
I saw another video where a fellow just inserted the tip of a metal ballpoint pen into the spring as popped it right back in.
I think you did a terrific job, Terry!
@@pekolucky thank you!!!
Great demonstration!
Thank you for watching
Thank You…. You saved me quite a few $ here….. Perfect..!!!!
@@jennyluvsjapan1 that is awesome. I am glad this helped you. Thank you for watching
How do i know if i have the correct amount of tension on the hammer spring (long peice of metal that sits inside the grips)?

@@TerryBenton Awesome! Thanks for clearing that up :D
Even though it says the tools has been discontinued you can still find it. Wheeler has a screwdriver combo set that has that tool and others.
I am.going to look into getting so e better gunsmith tools. I am always messing with something

Good advice. Just a pain to do it on camera. Lol.
