AHA. It turns out that I wasn't paying enough attention. While allowing the slide to move forward slowly, the extractor spring was so strong, it was preventing the hook from clearing the cartridge rim, and the action wasn't locking up. The spring on the extractor is obviously pretty strong (yay) and the recoil spring wasn't heavy enough to push the slide all the way forward. I guess that's not a bad thing, as it means the extractor is probably excellent (certainly seems so).
BUT, the double-action trigger is still, after lots of working, about 9#. I would like to get it down to about 6-6.5.
Soooo, a 19# hammer spring, and a heavier recoil spring it is. Especially since now I'm not sure I trust the thing. No kB for me.
