Ratings and Reviews of Reduced Power Spring Kit for Taurus 73, 85, 327, 605, 856, and 905 Revolvers

I purchased these springs for my wife's 856 after watching several reviews on YouTube about how this reduces the overall fatigue and strain versus the stock springs. We initially chalked it up to the revolver "needing to be broken in", but after several hundred rounds through it, and not a whole lot of improvement we were close to just selling the thing. I gotta say - it feels like a whole new revolver now! Unlike before, she is able to pull the hammer back easily with a single thumb (not two!) and reports no fatigue from repeated firings in dual action! As a bonus, the firing seems somehow "smoother" than before and less gritty. We are both very pleased with the little revolver now!

Holy....
Cannoli.....
What a difference..

WOW, that's what I said as soon as I finished the upgrade with your reduced power, spring kit for my Taurus 856, Ultra-Lite! I Had a feeling it would be really good, however the action now (in BOTH D/A & S/A) exceeds even my (perfectionist & hypersensitive) expectations, HANDS DOWN (& honey, that AIN'T easy to do)!

I didn't just go from stock springs to the galloway set, I installed a set in between! So, if you read this entire review, it will help you to have even a deeper understanding of just how valuable, the Galloway Spring Set truly is!

The Galloway Spring Set GREATLY improves the ease of use of the firearm, not only compared to the stock springs but, even over the competition! In other words, it enabled my Taurus 856ULVL (Ultra-Lite with Viridian Laser Handle) to now perform like a FAR MORE EXPENSIVE firearm, and that's a REAL GOOD THING!

I HIGHLY Recommend the Galloway Spring Sets for your firearms as they are made out of MUCH BETTER Material (which is FAR MORE suitable for this purpose) than the competitor's sets and here's why...

The Galloway Springs are made of "Chrome Silica Wire" (which is actual spring wire) and not "Music Wire" like the other companies use for their spring sets. I learned this while speaking to Galloway's tech (thank you, Eric!) before purchasing the Galloway Springs and after installing a set from the competition. This is VERY IMPORTANT, as I got to experience BOTH up close, for myself!

The music wire (competitor's material) has a very stiff & tough feel to them (not-at-all suitable for the purpose of trying to improve mechanical action) where the Galloway Springs have a softer or "gummier" feel to them when handling with your fingers, yet because they are steel (Chrome Silica) they maintain their integrity, 100%, EXTREMELY well! So, the Galloways are a lighter yet FAR MORE precision engineered spring! You can feel all of what I'm saying with your fingers and see it with the naked eye, if you have both sets in front of you!

Well, I got to do that (go from stock springs to a competitor's set, to the Galloway set) AND write this review AND those of you who are lucky enough to see this, you won't have to "reinvent the wheel"! You can just go straight for the Galloway Springs & be done & live happily ever after with your new & GREATLY improved firearm!

To sum it all up; (1) - The Galloway Spring Set is slightly higher in price because of the fact that the material is mechanically SUPERIOR to the competitor's springs (& LIGHT YEARS beyond the stock springs, believe me, "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT" in BOTH cases!). BUT, you gotta ask yourself this one, almighty question: "Is my life, & the life of my family, worth like an extra ten bux?". Never mind, if you find yourself even having to ask yourself that question, then you need to sell ALL of your guns and take up needlepoint, my friend!

(2) - Then theres the fact that, the Galloway Spring Sets not only makes firing in D/A, INSANELY FAST, it has also ELIMINATED my hand fatigue!!! Now, it's like a cool breeze to use my 856!!! I can fire this weapon all day long and not even feel it (with the stock springs, I quit at the range after ONLY 24-30 rounds, NO BULL!!!). I then switched to my semi-auto to give my hand a break!!! Now, try single action, WOOOOO-WEEEEE!!! It's like going from mixing Sakrete & gravel by hand with a shovel (stock & competitor springs) to pouring warm, liquid butter (the Galloway Springs)!
AMEN, BROTHERS & SISTERS, ENJOY!!!

So, there you have it, that's my review & I'm stickin' to it! Good Luck!!!

Fast delivery. Installation was fairly simple. The trigger feels much lighter than before. It took me a few days to recover after shooting 50 rounds in double action with the stock springs. Hopefully this will help.

Great upgrade for my wife's revolver. Because of her weak hand strength the revolver was almost unusable. After installing this kit she has no problem with trigger pull and pulling off target.

My backup 905 FEELS FANFRICKENTASTIC NOW!!!
Instal was pretty straightforward but I almost lost parts... they are small and springs do what springs do , so watch a video first and be very careful , maybe even order extra parts BEFORE you ever take it apart ESPECIALLY if this is your primary or only defensive tool or do your disassembly and assembly in a closed tent ( not kidding ). All the parts that connect to the springs and could go flying are good parts to have extras of..... Just a lil pro tip for y'all .
I knew this would work in the 905 , I just didn't know how good . I only ran it with factory brass , 50 magtech and about 75 Remington and it ran 100% . I don't have a trigger pull gauge myself but it sure feels about half the weight of the OEM springs and best of all there is no need to cut one or both of the springs or file my hammer which I was going to do because it has some sharp edges and was a bit rough on my thumb , but not anymore...!!!
I'm so happy with these springs . Thank you GP for making it so simple and affordable and the free shipping..... Straight up love y'all for that.
Two thumbs way the heck up for this company and spring set....... Highly recommend.
FJB-Rambo says get you some👍😉👍

I understand that the 856 is not a premium handgun, but it is well made and very functional. The factory trigger is "functional" but it does nothing for the shooting experience or for accuracy. The simple change of these two springs changes everything!! The instructions (video) from Galloway Precision are easy to follow. Much smoother and much lighter trigger pull, with no slop or effect on cylinder timing. Test fired 250 rounds of range and defensive carry rounds without a single problem.

These springs will make your revolver the fastest double action you've ever shot! Awesome product. Fast shipping and a great price. Thanks Galloway Precision team

Took a chance and used this spring set on my Taurus 327 (a 6-shot 327 Fed mag small frame revolver, new manufacture) and it works just fine! Reduced DA pull from around 10-12 lbs to a consistent approx 7.5 lbs, and SA from about 4.5 lbs down to just under 2 lbs. DA now very much smoother than with the OE spring set. I'm a very happy camper!

Great upgrade to the standard DA/SA trigger. The spring kit turned my 605 into a new gun, lightening and smoothing out the double action and single action.
