P320 Legion - Factory Springs Question

[BillChunn]

The P320 X5 Legion comes from sig Sauer with 2 recoil springs.  What is the pound weight for them?  One is red and the other is a blue / purple.

 

Thanks,

They recommend the Purple/14 to start with and for factory ammo and the Orange/12 for reloads etc. The 12 has worked with all of my reloads and there have not been any optic strikes with brass, etc. Also, there is a little card that comes with every new P320 Legion that explains it.

It kind of depends on a few things; load, grip, personal preference. I find with the heavier 147 coated bullets the 12 lb spring works fine-ish, whereas with a 124 grain bullet I tend to prefer the 14lb spring.  It's just faster and flatter. If you have a strong consistent grip you might like to stick with the 14. It really flattens the gun out a lot but just know that if you go that way you won't be able to rock a soft grip. Particularly the weak hand.
