Good write up and pictures.
The tape test is informative, but observing if the toggle locks open or not is simpler, but it does not ID a really strong strike.
I have used the tape test on one pistol that essentially "tore up" the tape- needless to say I changed the mainspring. But that one also "felt" like the spring was weak.
