Either the mainspring is an extra beefy one and/or there's some rubbing in the actionstantheman, this navy is just like that almost two hands to cock, and I’m not a weak person. Kind of makes me feel like matty ross on true grit when she meets the dude she was hunting and cocked the dragoon!
Yes, but often you’re going to get more bang for the buck by disassembling and smoothing the bits and pieces. Especially if it’s a Pietta.Has anyone reduced the main spring effort by filing the spring narrower on a revolver?
Also, there are aftermarket springs available if you still feel they’re needed. And a good set of nipples should have an orifice no larger than .028” so hammer blowback doesn’t occur.Yes, but often you’re going to get more bang for the buck by disassembling and smoothing the bits and pieces.

with the slixshot nipples venting off pressure when firing the reduced mainspring does not cause a a problem. with hammer bounce and cap jams/My guns are fitted with reduced power either Wolf or Lee's mainsprings along with Slixshot firing cones.
No cap jams and no misfires except with RWS 1075 caps which DO NOT fit properly on Slixshot cones.
I am completely aware of this and the "damp fire" of not knowing whether there it will be a BANG or a THUNK that will show if you flinch. Great practice better that "dry fire" where you know nothing will happen..
One of my plinking gun is fitted with an original main spring and get pretty good result with RWS.
That is what works for me your mileage may vary but a man should do what he thinks best.

a #10 flat washer that fits the screw will do the came thing.Historically they would lighten the mainspring by shimming them. You take a thin metal shim and shim the mainspring at the bottom of the frame where it screws into the frame. Just shim the bottom so when you tighten the screw the mainspring tilts forward. Beer can works great for this. cut an oversize piece, shim the bottom of the mainspring, tighten the screw down, and then cut or trim away the excess.
