Greetings...helping out a friend...she has a Colt Mustang with the plastic guide and dual spring system. Her complaint is it is getting harder for her to rack the slide (arthritis). I'm not familiar with the Mustang but, and don't laugh, would removing one of the springs a)make racking the slide any easier and b) would there still be enough to move the slide, chamber another round, etc? Would the gun go bang with just one of the springs?

Or if not..what spring set might be a recommendation? I doubt she would leave it C&L'd..

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
