spring for eaa match

[bigcat]

ok some of you know that i am new to this by now. i have a one year old eaa match. i don't know what pound spring it has in it but i can tell you that it hits hard. when you come out of slide lock with empty gun it drops hard. how do i know what spring to try especially when i don't know what is in it from factory. from what i am reading this could be alot of my problem though with follow up shots

Unable to find out the oem recoil spring for the Witness Match. However check out Henning's recommendations for recoil springs (at the bottom of the page). Give him a call by all means-he is the expert on EAA's. http://www.henningshootsguns.com/shop/wolff.html.

What caliber???? I think the stock .40 spring is 14lbs. I'm running a a 12lb in my Limited .40 for USPSA. I've run as low as a 10 lb. spring in a 40 Match, even with Major PF ammo. If it's a 9mm, you can go all the way down to 8lbs....

It depends on what caliber and loads you're shooting. With full-power 200gr loads in my 10 mm Hunter, I'm using a 25# recoil spring; I could use a heavier spring, but there isn't clearance for thicker wire.
