Congratulations on your new to you firearm.
New (to me) 94 Revolver
I was able to pick up a 4 inch SS Model 94 a few days ago. I was able to get it at a deal ($225) because the original owner couldn't stand the heavy trigger pull. I had already done a lot of reading about the springs and decided to try to improve things.
I removed the hammer and trigger return springs and polished the struts/guide rods as they were a little rough. I lightly cleaned up any other mating parts inside and added a small drop of oil.
Then I did the unthinkable! I cut one round off the hammer spring and 1/2 of a round off the trigger return spring. I reassembled everything and it felt like a different revolver. After firing several rounds of different kinds of ammo, no problems with light strikes. I might have taken another 1/2 round off springs but I'll leave it as is.....for now.
Cutting springs may not be the way some people would change a trigger pull but it's easy to do and if you cut too much off, just replace the springs with originals.
