hi,

do you know what is the weight of the recoil spring from the factory ?

I feel my gun has a very soft straight back recoil, but the dot bounce is important.....Do you think it will shoot flater with a 10lbs Wolff spring ???

I am a little bit worry to damaged the pistol with a softer spring....(i shoot 168-170 PF).

Thank

Grauffel is working on sprinco recoil reducer that will be available in his website by Dec.

that will help 50% reduction on the dot bounce. I have tried 10lbs recoil spring and cut 2 coils.

it soften the recoil a bit. You can google up the conversion of the factory springs from kg to lbs.

I did not find the data for the factory spring...

Why did you cut 2 coils on the 10lbs spring ?

Yea, I'm shooting a 10lb spring too.

I shoot a 6lb with my steel load, however. I have to be really carefull not to confuse the two. I wish there was an easy to way to mark them.

Oh, how often to you guys replace your spring?

I've tried a 10lb and an 11lb and can go either way on them. I will be trying the new sprinco when it comes out to see if the newer model is better suited than the original.

I think Eric runs a 12lb (less 2 coils) with a sprinco. I would not cut coils off a 10lb, it's light enough as it is in my opinion.

I started out with 10 lb springs in my Open guns but switched to 11 lbs. The 10s were just a bit "slammy" for me, and I just couldn't nail the timing on the gun down that well. Timing is perfect with the 11 though. It returns to neutral very nicely.

I was very surprise by the dot bounce with the factory setup.......i thank that is was a ery flat shooting pistol, but in reality, the dot bounce for me is far less with a STI grandmaster for example.

I will try the Sprinco when it will be availiable.
