Can anyone tell me where I can order a lighter spring kit for my USFA single action? ???

Nothing special about USFA springs.  Any kit that fits a Colt, Uberti or Pietta will work.  Brownell's has several.

Lou,
I use the Heinie wire trigger and bolt spring with the Wolff reduced power hammer spring, both available from Brownells.

I like two after-market main springs.  "Lee's Gunsmithing Gunfighter set (Brownells or Longhunter) and VTI Gunparts has a reduced power main spring.  I once knew who made the one from VTI but I've forgotten.  As a personal preference, I don't like anybody's wire Rtigger/Bolt spring.  Makes the action a little mushy.  I either tune the T/B spring or use Pietta's T/B spring.  Flat springs give the action a "crisper" feel.
