Default New Wolff Springs in an old 469

I finally got my Wolff Springs Service Pak for the Model 469 I bought earlier this fall (delay in shipping was not their fault - I somehow got the wrong zip code on the order). This was my third time dismantling the weapon (I posted a thread a while back on the first time - quite the experience), and although it gets easier every time, I am convinced that no matter how many times I perform this task, it will never become "easy". Replacing the hammer and the 3 levers that sit beside it is a 3 hand operation, to be sure. If you have access to a reputable gunsmith, there is no dishonor in handing this task over to them.

That being said, the task was accomplished with a minimum of growling and cursing, and now I know all the springs are good to go. The only springs that I did not replace are the ones beneath the rear sight - firing pin block spring and magazine disconnect spring. Drifting that rear sight out, back in, and then sighting in the weapon again seemed like a lot of bother for 2 springs that are working fine.
Anyhoo, that's the tale. Planning on some range time Saturday - I've only got about 100 rounds of FMJ through the pistol so far, and it's time to run some more.
Here she is.

Really be interested in how she shoots and what weight bullets you use. Mine shot 10-12" low from POA with 125gr. and standard sight.
I had to have the slide cut for the lowest front sight I could find and I'm now shooting 145gr. hand loads. Happy to say she is now POA at 20yds.
