My Vaquero with half a billion rounds through it smoothed out nicely but I'd rather enjoy that smooth action work now rather than 13 years from now.
I don't mind firm factory springs. They don't bother me in the least. The quality of the finish on the parts is another story. When I pull a trigger I know what the mechanical fiddly bits inside are doing. I can actually picture the pieces moving against one another. When the fit isn't mirror smooth it bothers me. I picture grit and trash grinding away at the parts.
Lube is used sparingly. It attracts dirt and grime. Teflon lubes with their solid particles don't appeal to me. Maybe it's a result of the garbage like Slick 50 and other automotive abuses but I don't care for it.
