stupid question but need to know

[TDA]

The point is, reducing the main spring to lighten the trigger is not necessary ON 1911/2011 PISTOLS, so why risk light strikes by doing so?

I think the gunsmiths that do it believe that it gives them a more consistent and more durable trigger, but I don't pretend to be a 1911/2011 guru. I just follow the numbers pretty much like this https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjyk5GDu7fYAhULKiYKHQX_AQ4QFggpMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.brownells.com%2Faspx%2Flearn%2Flearndetail.aspx%3Flid%3D10297&usg=AOvVaw019GbqKroRmfSFQZ5Qktxx and use the same 18# spring mentioned. Right or wrong, it is not a new or unusual practice. I do not get light strikes with my 2011's and my ammo but if they were self defense guns or I was using varied ammo I would follow your lead & keep the heavier spring.

A bit of thread drift, apologies.
