Default Trigger Pull issue after disassembly BG 380

I recently completely disassembled my SW Bodyguard 380. I had the gun disassembled for about a month. Does leaving the hammer spring out for a month increase the trigger pull??? When I reassembled the gun the trigger pull had doubled. I did polish some of the internals with Flitz and a cloth (no dremel) but cleaned every part meticulously after that. The gun went together fine but I noticed the trigger pull was incredibly stiff after I put it together. Twice what it was originally. I took it apart 4 times and verified the assembly was by the book but no luck, the trigger pull has increased by double. It feels like about 14 15 pounds and gets VERY stiff at the end of the pull just before it breaks. I have looked at every piece and can't figure out what happened. Has anyone ever seen this?

UPDATE: The answer is YES there is a increase in tension when reinstalling the spring after being out of the gun for weeks. This would not completely explain the issue but after leaving the gun assembled for a few days I took a trip to the range and it is functioning fine.

A relaxed spring is not going to become harder. Maybe the spring isn't seating correctly in bottom of frame. Did you check the function of assembly to be sure something isn't binding?
