As for springs, it's not unheard of that a weak mainspring could be the cause. That is an easy and cheap swap. The trigger return / rebound spring has nothing to do with hammer force so it can be left alone. If you still have issues after cleaning and changing the mainspring, it needs professional care.
I use a 30 caliber brush on the cylinders of my 40 year-old Model 34. It would be no big deal to change the main spring.
I think mine might need it too.
