Re-assembly problem

[glockbox]

I have a model 625-8, on the barrel it says "45 CAL MODEL OF 1989". A few years ago I installed a Wolff spring kit in it and it worked great, yesterday I discovered that after the hammer is cocked it can be "pushed off" it's engagement. I decided to re-install the factory springs, so I did. Now, after re-assembly, the hammer still can be "pushed off" after cocking. AND after cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger, the trigger is forced forward as the hammer drops. No work has been done to any of the parts inside the gun. Everything looks normal and I even pulled the sideplate off of another revolver to compare them side by side. Anyone have any ideas of what is wrong?

As far as the trigger being pushed forward, is it possible the replaced trigger return spring is heavy enough it feels different from the spring that was in there?   A hammer that can be pushed off of full cock is un-safe, and can be caused by poor fit / engagement, or damage to the sear mating surfaces.  A good candidate for inspection by a knowledgeable gunsmith.  I can't think of any mistake in reassembly that would allow the gun to function normally, with the exception of the trigger being "forced" forward as the hammer falls during single action shooting.

Doesn't sound like anything is wrong with your handgun. A lot of S&Ws I've tried will push off if you apply enough pressure to the hammer. While you have the side plate off take a look at the sear engagement and you'll see what I mean. Not a lot of contact area here. Shoot it and you decide what if any good the new springs give you? As far as hunting, I wouldn't think of changing springs, I want my handguns to fire first time and every time.
Remember, the hammer block will prevent the firing pin from engaging the primer as long as the trigger isn't as far back as possible.
Hope I've made myself clear(I seem to have a problem with that on this forum).
