D.Hayden Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I've read through (all/most) of the springs FAQ. I was wondering if there's a discusion about the mechanics. What happens if you go to light, or how to tell you're too heavy. What would the systems be? Too heavy = no ejection? Too light = no feed? It sounds like lighter = better, but too light hurts the gun, so on the borderling, shok-bufs help protect the frame. And where's a good starting place on a Kimber 45, 1911? 14#?

Run n Gun Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Dave, 14# with a shok-buff is what I run in my Kimber Gold Match and it works great. When you change your spring read Matt Burkett's timing drill. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 I know when my recoil spring is worn out when: My Open gun stovepipes ejecting cases. My Limited gun nose-dives the feeded round into the ramp. Both are also symptoms of a too-light spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
