Wolf Springs have been around forever, I've always had really good luck with them. I honestly never put in lightweight springs in anything but AR15s (yellow springs), i've always had bad luck with lightweight springs (in everything but AR's). Honestly, I think 3.1lbs is still too light for my taste. You can also check the tip of the firing pin for wear.

Thanks my friend. I did look at the tip of the firing pin and it seems fine, but I am not an expert. To be safe I attempted to buy a replacement pin just to see if it would work better. However, finding a firing pin for the rebounding hammer models is impossible. Spent lots of time going through dozens of websites and no one has them in stock. Even asked around in different forums to no avail.
