I finally got to install the Wolff reduced power springs into my DW 15-2 and now I ran into a problem. After I pull the trigger the trigger gets stuck in pulled position and will not release until I cock the hammer and release it back or manually pull the trigger back to normal. I installed the Wolff 8lbs main spring and the included trigger return spring....Anybody has had this issue...everything went pretty smooth but the end result it's a failure...btw the trigger gets stuck in either SA or DA ....please HELP!!!

Update...I removed the Wolff trigger return spring and replaced it with the original and the problem diapered, I reinstalled the Wolff spring and same problem...so it seems like the culprit is Wolff spring...any thoughts on why is this happening, anybody else ran into this issue? I will contact Wolff and ask for a replacement trigger return spring and try again.

Check your trigger stop screw. It's possible that the new spring causes the need for adjustment of the screw. Adjust the screw out to just allow hammer release but to stop rearward travel of the trigger immediately after release.
The problem you mention is a symptom of the trigger traveling too far rearward. If that happens it will get stuck.

I have had that problem but I attributed it to the trigger return spring slipping off the ledge on the trigger where it rests. Perhaps it is the over travel screw and I never realized. Sometimes when the sideplate is put back it jostles the trigger return spring and it falls off the ledge. It also will happen if the trigger or hammer are not fully seated against the frame. The Wolff trigger return spring works far better than the factory spring IMHO. It eliminates the scratchy feeling to the action and is lighter.

Thanks for the advice and I will give it a try but wouldn't the trigger travel would be the same for both springs? My trigger stop screw is in the trigger itself not on the frame. I never adjusted it before...can I do it with the trigger still in or do I have to take the gun apart?

The springs are different so it is logical that they would affect trigger travel differently.
You are lucky to have the stop screw in the trigger. It's easier to adjust. You will not need to take the gun apart, but you may need to modify your allen wrench in order to get to the screw because of the short distance between the screw and the trigger guard. This is easily done with a grinder if you have one. You may be able to buy a small enough wrench at your hardware store. Good luck.
Note that later models moved the stop screw to the frame behind the trigger, and they turned it around so that it can only be adjusted by removing the sideplate. Some folks will change this when they first disassemble the gun. I did change it on one of my 715's but when I sent it to the factory for repair, they changed it back!
