Ontarget Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 What recoil spring do most single stack shooters use with major pf loads of 165-170K? Do some people use less than a 16 pound spring? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvary45 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I run a 14lb recoil and 17lb mainspring. Try doing a search. I think there was a poll on this somewhere, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

co-exprs Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 The lightest spring you can and still get possitive feed reliability. That usually ends up being a 13-14lb spring for 45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
