Recoil Springs?
« on: December 31, 2006, 04:02:14 AM »
Is the 14# factory spring in my 915 adequate for high-end +P ammo such as Corbon, Double Tap, or Buffalo Bore?

Does anyone recommend using a polymer recoil buffer as well?

If at first you don't succeed, by all means try again. But if this doesn't work, give up, because there is no sense in making a darn fool of yourself.

Greysky: The continued use of +P rounds will batter a semi-auto.  Go to the Wollfe Gun Springs website and see what they offer for the 915.  I use their 22 lb recoil spring set in all my 1911s whether I'm shooting +P type loads or not.  HTH.  Mikey.

Thanks, Mikey.  :)

I just ordered a 16# Wolff spring, and a buffer from Midway. If it isn't heavy enough, I'll continue to upgrade in increments until I'm satisfied.
