I wouldn't trim the springs. Try one of these, they work well.

Just go with it, I got a new p220 in Feb, and after you run a hundred or so rounds through it they will soften up, that or you just get used to them. But i would rather have them to stiff, that not feeding ammo.

Oh, i had to run only 6 or 7 in mine the first few times.

Why not get a hand grip exerciser?

Stay away from the 10rndr's at least the ones with the plastic bottoms. Last i was out shooting both floor plates came loose after only a few drops on the asphalt at the range. One could be put back in place the other isn't going.

Tried contacting sig about it an have yet to hear back from'm.

No problem man, that video always makes me laugh. Be sure to watch Chopper Reid's video on airline security as well.

same experience for me...I have three sets of 10rd sig mag PARTS on my workbench as they are a no go...be sure to post what your results are on here, so I know which way to go myself. I sent them an email and have not heard back yet - next will be phone calls, but I'm not expecting great results.
The 8rd mags are built like a brick shit house! Awesome mags and they do break in a bit after some use, making loading them not such a pain.
