[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3819405, member: 24452"] I thought I would update my progress with the K6 after a few hundred rounds. The factory trigger pull was really smooth with a crisp break, but it was a little stiff for my taste (I estimate in the 12lb range). I read several reviews from guys that replaced the factory springs with TK Customs, and at the same time, I upgraded to a TK firing pin as firing pin breakage is one of the main complaints with these guns. I’m leery of using a lower weight hammer spring because it can produce light primer strikes, but that’s evidently not the case with these in this gun. I estimate the trigger pull in the 9ish pound range, and it seems smoother than before. I’ve never been a fan of DAO revolvers and would still like to have a K6 with a hammer at some point, but after reducing the pull weight, my desire is waning fast for a hammer model. This gun is a pleasure to shoot and easy to shoot accurately. I had only put 38 ammo through it until yesterday. I tried some 357’s in it (factory and handloads), and it’s a handful but not unbearable. I’m going to stick to carrying 38’s. For any revolver guys that are thinking about giving a K6 a try, I highly recommend taking the plunge. [/QUOTE]
