I agree with rfurtkamp on this...the slide must have considerable "mass" to function properly...F=ma...There is a certain amount of Force required, and the slide is the easy way to get that force. Could increase the acceleration of the slide to make up for mass, but I believe that in order to do that, you'd have to use a much stronger "spring". I suspect that if you put in a spring that would make up the difference, you probably couldn't pull the slide back to chamber that first round.....my two coppers.
