Yes, I was surprised when I received my 1900! I remember commenting on the thread in which I introduced it to the forum that hand cycling its action felt like closing the door on a Rolls Royce!
p.s. I have an extra leaf recoil spring that I actually bought perhaps a couple of years before the pistol came along, so at least this anxiety could be eliminated if I chose to send some rounds downrange. It was priced low enough to be able to be passed on to someone else, or hold in reserve as a spare after I found a 1900.
