Years ago, quit using CCI primers because they were harder seat than other brands. This was before I started tuning up Smith triggers.
Recently, the primer shortage has led me to take what I could get. Tonight, had the 986 to the range, and had spotty ignition on double action, CCI primers. The double action pull is just wonderful, and it does have a ribbed mainspring. These, in theory only, don't reduce spring power. I've found they really help double action trigger pull, but the tradeoff is in less hammer energy in double action.
Anyway, long story short, I'll put a standard mainspring back in the 986.
This is more in the nature of an observation than a bitch, BTW.
