Default Wolff Springs for Luger: Mixed Review.

I ordered the pack with the 38 pound standard mainspring, extra power striker spring, extractor spring, and trigger spring. I also ordered a 36 pound reduced power mainspring, which came with another extra power striker spring.

The main springs seem to be as advertised - I've had them both in the gun and they both work. My gun desperately needed a replacement mainspring.

The extractor spring works, but it's much smaller than the original, and fits in there rather loosely. It makes it a little harder to get the extractor back into the bolt, as it wants to slide around and get out of position. It's supposedly extra power, but I don't think it is. It doesn't feel like it.

I installed the extra power striker spring, but took it back out before testing it because ignition has not been an issue with the striker spring that came with the gun. I see no point in adding extra stress to the firing pin and sear if there is no need. The Wolff spring is much longer than the original, has a lot more coils, and is made of thinner wire. If ignition becomes an issue, I'll try it.

The trigger spring is quite a disappointment. I installed it, and could not pull the trigger far enough to release the firing pin, or even move the sear much at all. It stops the trigger at full compression before the gun can fire. I did check carefully to make sure it was seated correctly at both ends. I'll call Wolff about this. Like all except the mainsprings, the trigger spring does not look much like the original springs.

So, kind of a mixed review.
