I've tried putting the trigger bar over it (so the trigger spring sits in the groove on the underside of the trigger bar) and it only works in single action now.

Warbird:
Are you sure the Hammer was cocked before you installed the Trigger Bar?

Adalwulf:
Yeah the hammer was cocked when I reinstalled the trigger bar. It's still not retaining any tension. The trigger spring end is just sliding across the frame. Pistol only works in single action mode now. May have to visit a gunsmith once I get my new wolff spring in, unless there is a guide somewhere on how to install these frustrating little guys.

Warbird:
The gunsmith option would seem the best at this point since I feel we can't go any further troubleshooting through this medium.

Adalwulf:
Got the spring from wolff and installed it myself like how you described and my HSc is back in perfect working order. Thanks so much for your help Warbird!
