The wicked flee when no man pursueth

| Yes, but to me typically the juice isn't worth the squeeze. The mainspring controls how hard the hammer hits the firing pin and thus the primer. A general rule of thumb is the lighter the spring the less consistent the primer ignition. I stick to the factory SIG mainspring.

| I did the same thing. Put an 18 lbs. spring in there and not a single problem for at least 5K rounds. |

| I have noticed that the 17 and 18 pound springs seem to last about 4000 round before light primer strikes occur on certain brands of ammo. I run the 18#, but change it and the firing pin spring every 3000 (ish) rounds. |
