You are correct, it does have to move it slightly to overcome the hump on the rebound slide, an often overlooked surface to contend with. But I have never seen a 10# or heavier spring have a problem with a factory mainspring. Unless...someone had cut the rebound spring, which is a big mistake regardless of what some experts tell you.
