Most new parts will wear in a little and the springs will get tired after extensive use ... that is why they make more. If you push the limits, you may find yourself over the edge at the wrong moment....

When it come to actually using it ... an extra 4-8 ounces won't even be noticed if you have a clean break.
i've done quite of bit of work on my Contenders and Encore triggers. You are right - the crisp trigger will make it appear almost a pound lighter than the soft trigger that you normally have on these guns.
