For those that are enamored of "trigger jobs" that consist of lightened springs for their revolvers, the current weather is the ideal time to test your handgun. I urge you to leave your handgun and ammo out to be cold soaked and then pick it up and see if it reliably fires when cold. A couple of cylinders in a revolver should be enough to find out if there is inconsistent ignition.
I have gone through the lightened spring phase long ago and discovered the Colt, S&W, and Ruger knew what they were doing at least as far as hammer and trigger return springs. Even my professionally done revolvers have been returned to factory springs after I realized they could not be counted on in the cold. I use stock springs with smoothed and polished actions.
FWIW.
