Do you guys also change out the striker spring or just the recoil spring? I see a lot of discussions about OOB and the damages it can cause to the gun and the shooter. I have a new 34 and 35 gen 4 and had planned to just change the recoil springs and guide rods to #13 and 15 respectively. But now I am questioning having to replace other things as well. It will be strictly a competition gun.
Thanks
Newbie question about wear issue on 2011 frame
in 1911-style Pistols

Two years lurking and now ready for my first post. I bought this 2011 edge almost two years ago and had it set up for major loads then wanted to run minor. The gunsmith I bought it from said to just change the spring and all would be good. I had some problems with the last round in the magazine not feeding properly, so I lowered the spring again on his recommendation. It now runs like a champ, but I saw this area last night when cleaning and it got me worried. I currently shoot 40 S&W 165g at about 850ft/sec and a ISMI 10lb spring. The original guide rod was removed and replaced and he put in a shock buff as well. Any help would be appreciated. The area in question is circled in red and it looks like it has been smashed compared to the right side
