I believe stock is 13lbs. Someone correct me if im wrong. Personally i think an 11lb RS with a 13lb HS and reduced power firing pin spring is the best all around combo. Currently im running a 9lb RS and a 11.5lb HS bc im using it as a steel gun.

Stock recoil spring on the Shadow 2 is 13#. I replaced mine with a 10# recoil spring  and the hammer spring was also replaced with an 11.5# spring from CGW.

I have the 11lb RS and 13lb hammer spring. It seems to work very well.

I took a 10lbs spring and cut 3 coils off of it also using the small buffer.  Cycles 109PF just fine and runs well at 130PF.  I keep two 10lbs as spares in the bag.

I need to give this a try and see what happens. I shoot 147gr factory ammo most of the time.
