Not sure what you mean by "did not make any difference". The Wolff hammer spring will lower the DA trigger pull from the mid-20 pound range to the mid-teens ... still very heavy compared to other DA pulls.

The OP posted this in two different places on the same day. The other thread has more of a discussion:

My wife can pull the trigger with one finger with the wolff 18# or 19# spring, but she actually needs two index fingers to pull it with the factory springs. I think that says a lot.

Old thread but I have the same issue. I own 2 nice P64s. Did springs on both. One is excellent nice pull even in DA. Very light in SA. Just fine.

The second one I think is binding somewhere when the hammer is almost all the way back. Sticks on something. SA is also light and fine on this one and it has to do with hammer moving back. I need to completely take it all apart and figure it out. Sounds like the same issue the OP has. It isnt a spring issue there is another internal problem.

When I find it I will let you know.

Check the trigger bar to see if it is binding there.

Maybe take a look through these. Like Curly mention maybe check the trigger bar, also check the Hammer Strut and Strut washer to make sure everything is aligned. You might figure it out.
