Stronger springs = increased resistance
I have a stock g17 for comparison. The g17 is very smooth to rack, almost cant feel the hammer. The g18 with the hammer spring, there is a noticeable amount of force required to get pass the hammer.

The gun can still shoot through it, but i feel its causing an increased in pressure inside the nozzle in order to get pass the hammer. This might be why my guarder nozzles keep breaking (albeit their reputation wasnt that good to begin with).

Also, any other tips to prevent light strikes aside from hammer springs? Ive had cases in Socal hot weather where the valves just refuse to open. I even tried a 1 sec fill of gas and my gun still cant get the valve open. This is all with propane on a g18 with guarder hammer spring.
