Broken flat hand springs seem to occur frequently in Colt-type revolvers. My Good friend J-Bar has made a video showing how to repair a broken hand spring with wire springs.

" Here's hoping you will find it interesting, and perhaps encourage you to develop the idea further. The wire hand spring is not as elegant as some other approaches, but it is quick and easy to Video on Replacing Flat Hand Spring with a Wire Spring."

Thanks Fingers

Great tip. I always heard using Piano wire could be used, but did not
know how it was done.

Great thank's Tatartot :D
 
Just widen the current slot, double the spring wire into a long "U", put the open ends into the slot and tap the edges of the slot to keep the spring in place. Solder if you want.
