Any thoughts on reducing the trigger pull on a .44 magnum? I have a customer wanting a lighter pull weight (12 lbs to under 5 lbs) and am exploring options.

You might want to try Wolff Springs. For what I have read you need to be careful polishing the internal parts because they were made out of cindered metal. So if you polish through the exterior coating you will mess up the part.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks Jody. I just blued a test barrel in my 'certified' tanks. Business is coming along as people find out they have a gunsmith in the area. I like Dan Wessons a lot to say the least and hope to service them more over time.

Wolff springs are the answer, though the way Dan's are designed, I don't think you can drop down to a 5 lb. trigger pull (in DA mode) and still have enough force on the hammer to ignite the primer.
Let us know how you fare.
The Wolf springs definitely reduce trigger pull significantly. I got their target style for my model 15 years ago and single action was practically dangerous. It did cause an ignition problem, until I switched to Winchester primers and it never had a non-fire after that. It varied with factory ammo, Federal seemed to be the best back then.

Their springs are too light to use in a DW the way the trigger system is designed be it 357 or 44 or anything else. Most old time DW owners that really used the guns did not recomend the use of lighter springs, and Keith at DW will tell you the same thing.
I have tried Wolff springs in two DW's and I had to remove them because of light strikes and not getting full return of trigger to firing position.
