Well, I've had a taurus 357 mag Tracker in Titanium for about 3 and a half years now. The trigger was, well, a Tauri trigger, which left a little to be desired for. Anyway, I got a wollfe reduced spring set for it and that really addressed the way the trigger felt. Upon taking it to the range, waaaay too many FTFs due to light primer strikes in double action mode. The town my employers had me at left no place to go shootin so I could really do too much beyond speculation at the time. Fast forward to Jan 1st 2008 during my Winter break and different town, new house, with all my post div. possessions in the same hut. I began fiddling with the Tracker more, swappin' out the factory, 12, 11, and 10 lb. hammer srping to no avail. Now even the factroy spring was giving me FTFs.
Then it occured to me that the hammer spring was not the culprit, it was the FIRING PIN RETURN SPRING. Duh! So I carefully dissasembled, again, and removed the the little pin that keeps the firing pin in place. I clipped off exactly one and a half of the coil spring and decided to polish the firing pin with a 8000 grit wetstone just cuz it makes it mirror shiny with out much work (or removal of metal). Put it back together, with the Wolfe 11 lb hammer spring, and lo and behold, totally cured, even with a batch of CCI primers that seemed a bit on the hard side.
So, before you give up and send it back to Taurus, clip a coil off the Firing pin return spring and it'll give the hammer enough space and less resistance to work in double action mode.
