Current recoil spring/guide rod setup in 2011 style limited/standard pistol

[bokbok_05]

I know it was tackled thousand times here before but I am curious about your current setup in your limited/standard 2011 pistols.  Let's say that you are shooting major (170pf), what is your preferred setup?  lightened or not slides.  Reason why I am asking is because I want to try an 11lbs recoil spring on a tungsten GR w/ shock buffer. 

Thanks.

5" or 6" slide?  A 6" slide definitely has to be lightened.  My current Limited gun has a lightened 5.5" slide, bull barrel, EGW 1 pc stainless guide rod and Wolff 12lb variable recoil spring.  Most guys shooting .40 major use recoil springs in the 12-14lb range.  I like the fast response of a lightened slide on both my Limited and Open guns.

It has 5" slide and only lightened serrations (no holes).

My 5" is not lightened (factory edge) but using a 10# spring and shock buffer, Dawson FLGR. 

My new gun will have a lightened slide, trying to lighten the whole gun up. Get a few springs to try it's worth the time to test a few out   might ask around one of your shooting buddies might have a few different rates you could try.

My primary I run dawson tool-less guide rod 12.5 recoil spring not lightin. My back up has sight tracker run one peice guide rod 12.5 recoil spring an it's Tri-top I run zero buffers in both ismi springs . My buddy who is a gm in open hates ismi springs he says wolf is the way to go

10.5 ounce slide w/o sights

Tungsten GR

11 lbs recoil/ 17lbs Main Spring

Seems very flat to me, best set up I've found for this gun shooting 172 PF ammo
