LOLLL - I've been shooting 1911 since 1968 - they taught me to strip and clean a 1911 in basic!And, don't forget about the proper lubrication of your firearm.

I just found out Volquartsen make springs for my Ruger Mk II target pistol for CCI Mini Mags and StingerDo you change out your springs in your 10-22 when you switch to Stingers?
I think mines currently sitting at 21lbs or 24lbs (I forget which)…he'd probably flip out if he seen what I was shooting out of it tooA bit of history...the 1911 as Browning designed it for the 45 ACP cartridge was engineered to use a 14lb spring.
45 (super is why I went all hoss on the spring, along with some other stuff)Are you shooting .45 or 9mm?
I run single springs in both my 1911 9mm and .45Have a Colt 1911 9 mm with Match barrel. Cleaned and oiled gun repeatedly. Two thousand rounds fired before issue. Have had great success with no malfunctions with handloads until recently. No idea how many rounds were fired by previous shooter. Slide doesn't go into full battery. Tried different reloads of 115 to 125 grains bullet. Seems ok with remanufactured ammo. Has factory dual springs. First question. Outer spring has red paint on one end. What should be correct orientation? Follow up question, should I consider replacing old springs? Brownell is out of stock on both outer and inner. Other sources offer single spring.
Please point to source for proper spring. Please recommend a recommended weight spring.
Thanks
Less Bauer make a very fine firing pin stop with a radius between a flat bottom and full radiusRemember, there's 2 springs in play during the recoil cycle...the action or otherwise called the recoil spring, and the hammer spring. Another thing that affects the recoil impulse, is the firing pin stop...specifically the shape at the bottom.
As for 9mm spring rate...10-12lb single spring.

The radius at the bottom was changed because the calvary would carry the 1911 with an empty chamber, and found it more difficult to chamber a round while riding...thus the gradual radius was made...unfortunately it made the recoil impulse a bit harsher.Less Bauer make a very fine firing pin stop with a radius between a flat bottom and full radius
I noticed a difference on my .45
for my 9mm, I run a full radius stop
