I changed one of the springs in my 442 after I bought it, and it helped the pull quite a bit. I don't fire it much due to the horrible recoil. It feels like the thing is exploding itself instead of just the round. But, as others have said, it is a great carry revolver. I carry one speed loader with it.

"With Christmas stuff and the cold weather keeping us busy at work, I have not had the chance to fire it yet. I sure hope I don't dislike it. Was it the main spring(the one under the grip)? That was the only one I have replaced so far and it sure helped. I am thinking I might leave well enough alone. I don't want too light of a pull."
The grip covers are all that I removed. The spring kit called the spring the "trigger spring", as I recall. I believe there were 3 springs with different tensions to choose from.
