recoil and main spring .45 1911

[foilhat]

I just ordered several springs to try out. 14 & 15 recoil and 17 & 18 main springs. I will be trying these in a Kimber Classic Custom 5" .45 1911. 200g SWC, 5.0 WST PF 173. Any issues I should be aware of?

Thanks

In regards to the recoil springs, if they are ISMI follow their instructions in checking for coil binding. If they are another brand I would still check for coil bind in your gun. Might save you some grief later.

Good advice. If you want soft, heavy bullets feel softer to me also, but at a certain point soft turns to sluggish. The profile of your firing pin stop can be an interesting thing to experiment around with also.
