This is a much appreciated reply. If true, then installing the Wilson 18.5# spring actually made my gun worse off and I never should have installed it, I obviously did not do my homework correct back then. It also explains why I never had a problem with any inertia discharge, or would had need to install an extra power firing pin spring.... logically Colt would have matched the springs accordingly.

So I tested this by re-installing the original spring kit and compared the effort of retracting the slide (this is the best I can do, by feel). By feel, the stock Colt dual spring "feels" a tad heavier... but its close, I have no way to accurately tell.

So moving forward, my saga is empirical evidence of the old adage 'if it aint broke don't fix it'. I'll leave the stock spring kit in.
