I am not sure what the process was. As far as grips are concerned, I am looking for larger aftermarket,

eBay has tons of choices in with rubber, wood,G10 etc.

Here are a few more pics. All I have is an old iPhone camera and no picture taking skills.....

Was looking at other grips and these popped up! Not factory but nice and cheap until you can find a factory set.

anybody have a reccomendation on which spring kit is best to lighten the trigger?

There are two springs which directly impact the trigger pull, the mainspring and the rebound spring. The mainspring, sometimes called the hammer spring, sets the double-action weight and the force of the hammer strike. The rebound spring sets the single-action pull and the speed at which the trigger returns to the forward position.

I have changed mainsprings in the past, but always kept the factory weight rebound spring. Both Wolff Gunsprings and Wilson Combat make quality replacement mainsprings. I tended to prefer the Wolff springs. That being said, the smoothness of the double-action trigger really makes a bigger difference in shootability than the spring weight. Nowadays I focus on trying to get a smoother trigger - not lighter.

You summed up exactly what I am trying to accomplish. Smooth out the trigger. I see some options with the Wolff kits. Any recommendations?

I think I have a spare set of springs.

The internal parts wear themselves in with use. You can simulate this by stoning internal parts, but the best way to smooth out the action is to get some snap caps and dry fire the snot out of it. It may not take much if the action was slick before the refinish.

I will give the snap cap idea a try. Thank you.

Snap caps worked wonders.
Also loving the look and feel of these new grips!!
