Just a thought i've had, searching didn't really give much insight on adjusting spring weights.
The scenario is when you have an auto, we'll say a Glock for example since it seems common to change spring weights on them for lighter or heavier loads. If you have a slide that has cuts that have removed material like we see are getting more popular lately do you change the spring weight? Is the removed weight enough to really affect the mass of the slide and the timing or how fast it unlocks and cycles? This could also go the other way, if you have a pistol slide with an optic cut and you add an RMR or something similar that is adding weight, should spring weight be something that's considered for optimal performance?
