The striker tail engaged to the sear will apply leverage and resistance to the sear, compressing the strut springs as the sear cams on the internal surface of the housing harder than with slide removed, and it appears that the angle and center of rotation changes on the sear to put springs to work that are otherwise more relaxed with slide removed...

You are operating from the assumption that your casual look at the action with slide removed shows what is happening with slide installed....you are operating also from the assumption that there CAN be no lightening of pull by modifying the sear assy spring stack-up, despite every post you can find where someone has removed these springs and report an immediate lightening of pull.

A better use of logic would be to admit the people reporting a lightened pull are not insane nor are they lying, and to look at what is happening and to seek to understand it.
