Does the compact take the standard hammer springs? On my full size LTT I have a #12 spring with the enhanced trigger bar and that is the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned and I'd like to replicate it on the compact I'm about to pre order.

Is a standard size barrel compatible with the centurion/compact slides?
Because if it is it’d be an interesting experiment to bore out the front of a standard barrel (to maybe .38 or .39 so you don’t get jacket/ lead shavings) for maybe inch and port it similar to the old beretta 93 barrels.
Couple of pictures in various threads, that I keep going back to:

Same gun, different thread.
In the above forum, there is a member (signature is if your going to be a bear, be a grizzly), that I remember him having a question about the beavertail, as his handsize makes the full sized gun, look like a compact and he was getting cut there. I think someone like that or someone who puts high round count/regular classes, would benefit with the carry bevel. Most of the beveling I see, is going to be covered by the holster, or I would be using/shooting the PX4, which is my carry preference. (already more rounded)
And the money saved on the carry bevel, went toward the other sized LTT. (lost a gun auction and a friends wife was going to sell a pistol for a surprise for her husband, and I was a day late, so both those timed this right)
I have the fiber optic sights on the full size Elites (range pistol and backup), but choose Spartan's on either I might carry. (work nights)
I trust GJM to know, and he’s several orders of magnitude better than I. I like night sights and carry one of these all the time, plus the orange front is a lot like sights on my PX4CCs. So I like em. Do they slow me down at matches ? Idk, but I like competing with what I carry. But I’m just an IDPA SS working to get better, nothing more.

Thanks for the correction. I'm looking at it more closely and do see that the front lug is a little shorter on the compact barrel. I did not fire it in this configuration, only checked to see if it would drop in. What kind of damage could result from use in that configuration?
I know that using a compact/centurion slide on a full size frame is said to accelerate frame wear because of insufficient slide travel and higher slide velocity during recoil. I'm guessing that the issue with a full size barrel in a compact/centurion pistol is that because the front lug is longer on the full size barrel, it runs the risk of being battered by the slide during recoil if it is used in a compact/centurion frame?
