Yes and no...
I use Wolff standard weight and heavier springs all of the time. They make a high quality product, and supply a lot of springs to the firearms industry. I have also use some less than standard springs on guns that serve no purpose in a weapon's context. For example, Single Action Army Colt's & clones.
But I use factory, or factory standard plus in anything that might be a weapon.
I have on many occasions examined a revolver (and a few pistols) that weren't 100% reliable in going BANG! and usually found lightened springs of one kind or another involved - sometimes in combination with other problems.
I am well aware that a lot of folks have gone to light springs with apparently complete satisfaction, but occasionally one pops up that says, "Well it was working fine until......"
In my book, getting too close to the line is not wise in a weapon, but obviously others think differently.
Also, a smoother action often feels lighter, and if the "smoothing" is done correctly there is no reliability issue. However if the work is done incorrectly you may end up with ruined lockwork, and an expensive repair bill.
When it comes to action work on a weapon, a true professional or factory service facility is usually worth the money spent.
