Results are pretty good so far. Groups sizes are down, and there's more skin left on my trigger finger.

Is there a downside to attempting to re-curve the factory main spring? I've never done this before, and just figured why the heck not try it. Main springs are cheap enough if it breaks.

If you did a gradual re-curve from center & up then you won't have any issues with it.

I almost always re-curve the main spring rather than clip the strain screw as changing the strain screw length also changes the spring-to-hammer working angle (usually not a positive or desired change).
