Hi Again:
I wouldn't start cutting springs and guessing. I'd order the springs available from Wolff Springs. I believe they have three springs: "weak", "standard" and "heavy" (pardon my simplification, as they actually rate them by poundage). You should try the weakest one first and work up. One of these should make your pistol operate properly.
While you are at it, get their replacement magazine spring rated at 110% of standard. This should take care of any magazine spring weakness problems.
Good luck!!
