.38 Super springs

Hey gang!

I'm planning on shooting IDPA this year with my Colt Commander in .38 Super, and I was wondering what spring rates might be reccommended for it. I have no idea what's in it now, as far as spring rates go. It's brand new, I've only shot it one time, and it seems awful jumpy to me. I was using factory 130 gr fmj's.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Wolf says the stock recoil spring for a .38 Commander is 16 lbs.

You could get one of their reduced power* "calibration packs" with springs from 12-16 lb conventional or 10-17 "variable" and swap them around until the gun shot more smoothly.

*Most competitive shooters use recoil springs lighter than stock. A "heavy duty" spring seldom lets you go as fast.
