223to45 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You will probably have play with spring weights a little to find what works with your loads.I run a 8lb spring in my 1911, and left the hammer spring aloneSent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterDrew Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 10lbs hammer spring seems VERY light. I want to say 15-17 is the norm for those running light springs. I’d be pretty worried about getting constant light strikes at that weight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echotango Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 9# recoil spring and 15# main/hammer spring works great in mine. 2# trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tha1000 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hammer spring won’t change the pull more than nominally. As mentioned above, 15-17 seems to be the sweet spot for reliable ignition. I run the lightest recoil spring that the particular gun will reliably feed with. I’ve found it to vary based on the gun. You’ll need to do some experimenting.

Posvar Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I’ve never used or heard of anyone using a 10 lb hammer spring. A 15 is ideal for me. 17 made trigger too stiff. I would go with what Thomas said and test recoil springs and go as light as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
