Default Weak cylinder pin spring?

I have been 'playing' with my Victory tonight and was noticing when I push the cylinder release the cylinder takes very little pressure to open it. What is the most likely 'culprit' ? - Note - the cylinder pin is considerably easier to push in than my 60 or 66 so maybe a new spring is in order? Please advise! Thanks.

There are several springs that could be worn, broken, cut or incorrectly replaced and without having it in front of me I'd just be guessing. If everything functions correctly and the gun locks back up tight, then I'd start by replacing Springs.
