Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Spring weight for a Colt COmbat Commander . . .
Posted: 12/31/2005 4:21:18 PM EDT
Hi all,

I'm respringing my Commander  and I'm a bit lost.  I see tons of dirrent weights being thrown around for the mainsprings and recoil springs.  What are the recommended spring weights for carry?

How about the extra-strength firing pin springs?  Do they effect reliability?

I like 18-19lb. mainspring.( mainspring wt varies by brand)
Extra power fp springs no problem.
