I polished the firing pin and replace the slide spring with the lightest one I had. I hope that works and won't get to shoot it till next week sometime
I’m trying to figure how a lighter action spring is gonna help. Looks like quicker unlocking slide/barrel would make primer smear worse.
What’s your thinking on that?

With a lighter spring the slide will move rearward with less resistance, quicker.
When the hammer is dropped, the pin will be forced forward, striking the primer. The pin will retract because of its spring (I will get a heavier one if this doesn’t work) and the slide will be pushed back from the force of the ignition.
With a lighter spring in the slide it will take less pressure to be forced reward which means it will be moving faster
The ignition is slightly under my control but my reloads are midrange and I don’t plan on changing that part of the equation.
I’m not a smith, did I miss something? I’m using what I have on hand and still looking for another pin spring combo just in case this does not work
