Decent
Installed easily into my well used 637. Reduced trigger pull a little bit but definitely not a night and day difference. Can't really go much lower though to insure reliable ignition of hard primers. The machined firing pin is a nice addition. Overall, you don't have to sacrifice much time or money to install this kit into your j-frame so it is worthwhile but I wouldn't call it a "must buy."
