First off I have got a load and reliable operation on my 2011, 38 super.
When I go to rack the slide for the first time with the hammer forward, it takes a lot of effort to rack it and cock the hammer. Once the hammer is cocked, the #14 spring functions pretty easy. I have felt other open guns and they seem to rack with much less effort. Looking at the hammer compared to mine, not much different
For info sake, I am shooting 38 super to approx 172 pf pretty flat shooting and reliable.
