I want to change the weight of the main spring and recoil spring and am worried about a light primer strike.
Has anyone ever seen a hangfire with modern ammo?
Light strikes happen all the time in competition. That round is racked out of the gun in a second. I've never seen one go off later.
Which gun? Striker fire or hammer fire?

A lot of conflicting information, online, about light primer strikes.
In the event I think I may have had a light primer strike what can possibly happen and what is the proper safe course of action on the range.? .
I am assuming this is a non self defense situation
I've seen, and experienced, 'hangfires' with .50Beo reloads.
Somehow the charge was contaminated. You could distinctly tell there was a delay from hammer making contact to round igniting. Less than a second delay, but it feels like forever when you're shouldered and just hear a 'click' instead of 'boom'.

So I tried a 17lb mainspring today with varying recoil springs. 10lb recoil spring to 19lb recoil spring. Almost double the weight and I cannot tell one difference among all the recoil springs.
Not sure what that means.
