Maybe my mainspring has lost some of its temper and isn't returning fully???

I didn't take the grips off to look at it...I can't pick it up [from the FFL receiver] until it's on my NYS permit...and the permit clerk keeps the same work hours I do, so it's a crap shoot when I can get it on my permit to pick it up...

It ain't been no closet queen...The mainspring may well have a broken leaf or be stretched out...Whatever happens to these old dual-leaf mainsprings...
