m700 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Friend just picked up new sti. Didn't like my loads for our sig x5s which are a bit light. He has been running factory. Where should I start Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardust tommy Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 6.1gr power pistol, good 115gr JHP... accurate with gas to work the comp (but loud and flashy) or a factory +P load with 115gr bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It's probably way overspring from the factory. Put a lighter recoil spring in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a lighter recoil spring in it That's what I figured but but its so much smoother than my 1911 in 45 I thought maybe it's setup for something specific.

m700 Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 In my wilson cqb I popped out the 18lb and dropped to a 14 but this pistol seems like it has a 2lb spring in it very light touch can actuate slide. almost seems like an airsoft gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
