That's not what I said. I said that if the first (several) shot(s) is WEAK, then it means the hammer spring isn't strong enough.
If your first shot is stronger than others, then it's operating completely fine.

Double negative?
Yes, attribute it to differing brands.

Steel? Doubt it. The weight your feeling is lead filler in the aluminum casting mixture. Wash your hands after using. LOL.
Seriously though... I'm not sure specifically what KJW puts in their castings, but generally, when zinc/aluminum is cast, LEAD is the element used to add weight.

Now, would swapping from the bent TM leaf spring to a IK/Prog4 leaf spring help me here? Or is it time for me to start scraping together the funds (and the appropriate areas in my KJW frame - lol, clones...) for an IK hammer kit?

This actually sounds like the sear disconnector isn't properly slipping behind the sear. That is, the hammer is cocked back, but you required 2 or more pulls before it releases. If your hammer is down after the slide closes, well... that's another issue altogether, and this would usually be followed by uncontrolled full auto fire until the sear catches the hammer again. This would be represented by the hammer being cocked back (unless you ran out of gas)
Beyond that, I can't comment much.. I've fixed several KJW's and hated every one of them. They're so chock full of problems.... sorry, got derailed there. Anyways, you know how much I dislike clones.
