Was picking up some transfers today and saw a G20 Gen 3 for a decent price. Nerve issues means I’ll hardly ever shoot this except carried during hiking. Took it to the range with 180g range ammo and some underwood 1500 and 1700 fps rounds. Had multiple failure to feeds where the round...

I think it's time to replace the flat wire recoil spring on my 2012 DW ECO 9mm. Anyone know where I can find this? I already called CZ USA and they said I needed to speak with Genny. She's always been very helpful in the past, but she still hasn't returned either my voice mail or my email. Any...

I was replacing the recoil spring on my Officers ACP with a Wolf spring and only three mags later the spring looks like this The pistol seem to have the factory full length guide rod, so why would the spring coil up like this?

does anyone know the standard factory recoil spring weight for a magnum research desert eagle 1911G 9mm please? I'm not trying to do anything fancy. My gun has had probably around the 1000 rounds through it now and just wanted to make sure the spring is still in decent shape or weather it might...

Hey guys, so I was running my original E series SW1911 today and the more I shot, it would sometimes fail to return to battery. The gun is nearing the 3,000 round mark and I've read various recommendations but most say around 2,000-3,000 is the life span for a standard recoil spring. I believe...

Three Minute Thursday with Clint Smith. In this debut episode Clint speaks with Mark Stone, owner and CEO of Nighthawk Custom, about 1911 Recoil Spring service life.

Can they be disassembled to change the inner spring and then be sucessfully re-assembled? Anyone done it? Replacement springs are reasonably inexpensive, the entire assembly not so much. Both my Kimber Ultra Carry CDPII and Desert Eagle 1911U use these, If it's possible, I'd like to be able...

I have taken apart 1911 pistols since 1964, never have I read such a statement in a firearm manual. Never, ever. The recoil spring stopper is steel, what effect will my pinching it have on disassembly? I've pinched it a time or two and my fingers hurt. Shoot up here amongst us, one of us needs...

Went to swap out the recoil spring in my NHC and pulled out an old Wilson spring caddy kit I had tucked away for government slide length. Pulled the 17#, but noticed the 18 1/2# spring was shorter. I know this is a shot in the dark and shouldn't make that great of a difference in weights(don't...

After a range trip, field stripped and cleaned the pistol. Upon function check, the slide would hang up to the rear when ridden slowly. When trigger is pressed to rear, no problem. Zero issues prior to this, possible I never noticed thumbing it before hand as well. This is a new to me...

My family is getting me the Springfield Loaded for Christmas. I'm sure I don't want their 2 piece guide rod. I just got an email for Wilson having a sale. So, I want the standard GI guide rod and plug. (probably bullet proof model). Am I correct in thinking I can use the factory recoil spring? I...

So do these actually serve a real purpose, or is it all marketing hype? Not trying to start a fight, I'm going to be buying a variety soon, and was curious if these are worth considering. Thanks. Dave

Is there a way to determine the pound strength of a recoil spring when it is unknown ?

I have a couple of questions here for someone with more knowledge of spring application then I have. Question 1.) if I stretch a spring a little bit can I get a little more weight on the return? We are talking recoil spring? Say I have a 22# Spring. if I stretch it a bit, can I gain a little...

Hello 1911 Addicts! I recently noticed that on my S80 GCNM that I was having hammer follow/drop to half-cock not every time, but frequently. Some time ago, I put in a 17lb Springco chrome silicon recoil spring as the stock spring seems to be on the light side and I wanted to protect the gun...

Strange question for you guys and it's a first for me. I was cleaning my TRS and since the pistol is 9 years old I thought I'd swap out the recoil spring with a brand new one that I had for my TRP. My sequence is to pull the slide stop out first to disassemble, so my re-assembly is to place a...

On a full size 1911, is the length of the recoil spring plug important? For example, a 1.5" vs a 1.2"?
