| Does anyone know what the recoil spring weight is on factory Colt Government? |

You must match the spring weight to the load being used. Start at 16 lbs and try higher and lower weights while function firing your pistol. When you find a combo (spring and ammo loading) that works without a hitch and consistantly throws the brass in a neat pile about 8 to 12 feet away, you are there. The 1911 works very well with 230 gr ammo, lighter weight bullets (185 gr, etc) tend to be more problematic. |
