Rofi,
I don't know if going to heavier hammer springs is the best idea as this affects other things too like your trigger. You may try using a an OS firing pinstop from EGW. One of the things is has is it is squared off for fitting at the bottom where the hammer will contact it on the cycle. Since it is squared for fitting you can slowly round the corner. The squared edge will require more force to cock the hammer, thus keeping the gun in lockup a little longer. I have heard of people playing with this, It is good? I really don't know.
I think I would try different bullet/powder combos and maybe have some milling done to my comp..You might try having some side ports milled to minimize dot ocsillation, might try milling a couple of ports through the barrel and slide. Very similar to what Jarrett and Barnhart had done to their guns. As afar as powders and bullets..you have a lot of combinations. This is assuming you are shooting some .355 based cartridge.
Powders to try Viht offers 3n37, 3n38, n350, n105. Vectan has SP2, Acurate Arms, AA5, AA7, AA9. Winchester used to have might still find WAP, WW540. Bullets you have jacketed in 124, 125, 130, 135, 150, 160 and 170 grain bullets.
My experience is that each feels and performs differently in different comps. Plus your shooting style and ability will determine what you are looking for.
The trick is to make the gun do a very predictable movement during its cycle. and have your ability to see the dot or the front sight timed to that cycle.
Right now, I am shooting a short slide, two port full profile comp. At the new power factor the gun shoots very soft and very quick. I am using 125JHP from montana gold, Remingtion Nickel brass, Winchester small rifle primers, and Viht 3n37. My trigger is a moderate one at 2.5 pounds and I have an EGW OS fp stop in it. I can see the front sight (or dot when optima is on it) lift up, move slightly circular to the right and track back to the orgin. Oh, spring weight will effect this too. Too heavy the dot will dive low. too light will not return to original point of aim.
Anyway. sorry to make this so long...Good Luck to you
