Smith and Wesson has at least one other objectionable such device on their current revolvers...
Don't complicate something simple that works well, and always, always, keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction!
but I will agree in principle that the original designer know's what he is doing, and I don't like modifying or at home engineering, especially when it has to do with a safety feature, that's why my M&P wears a thumb safety...

No problem with the disagreement. That is part of the reason a forum like this exists and while I do have some knowledge on things, I am certainly not the final authority or any kind of credible expert. If you know something I don't, by all means please bring it up. We are all here to learn together.
I did give the option of trying it without the spring as long as they test it first to make sure it won't be a problem.
The OP did bring up the potential issue with Federal primers. Whether any manufacturer uses them or not in .308 ammunition, I can't say. With their reputation of being soft, it could be an issue or it could not.
