The Taurus is quite a bit lighter @ 3.25lb. I tried the Taurus both with and without the firing pin safety parts installed and didn't get more than a couple ounces difference in pull weight or smoothness.
I just polished the factory parts (the original lever and new pins), reinstalled em, and never gave em another thought.
