First, Welcome to the DWF! Good to have you here. If the revolver functions correctly and the gap is set, then go shoot it first. Then do a detailed strip and clean, using: The Average Joe method If there were any issues during the range session, new springs probably fix 75% of the problems. They're always good to have on hand, so if you plan to keep the Dan- have a set on the bench. Ron

I really appreciate the warm greetings-thank you
I will follow the suggestion about shooting the gun first.
Is CZ the best option for me to purchase the springs?

Good question. Wasn't there an aftermarket supplier that had "Improved" spring kits?
"Wolff" maybe?

I didn't know how to use it.”

Good lead for Wolff.
I have ordered replacement springs to have on hand
I used my Lyman gauge and got the following results:
DA- average of 10 pulls=8 lbs 5 ozs
SA-average of 5 pulls=1 lb 10 ozs
Very smooth

The Wolff trigger return spring is the single best thing you can do to improve the trigger pull. Do not use the 71/2 lb spring. Likely to get light strikes.

I have made a couple of orders with RichardsDWs. Great guy to do business with.
I am a believer that the only parts that ever break are the ones I don't have replacements for. I now have a pretty good selection of parts for all of my DW revolvers. If I don't break anything...I am sure I'll be working on something and hear that little whiz noise as some obscure, but necessary, part flies off to never be seen again.
EWK is another good source of some DW parts. He has an ad on the DW Forums home page.
So true.
