24# Recoil Spring for 10mm

[rockchalk06]

I just installed a Wilson Combat full length guide rod and flat wire spring in 24# for my Kimber Camp Guard 10.

Obviously I'll have to run it to know what works, but just curious if anyone has run a spring this high in 10mm for full house loads?

Thanks in advance OSA

I had a 24# in a .460 Rowland which is a real high pressure round. I don't know how high the 10mm runs at.

My kimber rapide and sa trp came with 18.5 lb mainsprings.

Don’t Glocks also? I have a 24 for a g20 I have t shot yet. Haven’t felt the need to change either of the Glock 29’s. They are quite manageable but a whole different recoil impulse over the 1911 platform. Otoh have long term durability even in a Glock, it may make sense to change it, what I have read anyway

I've noticed my brass is really going into orbit with the stock one. Hoping this will help some.

According to Wolff gun spring the factory standard spring in a Colt Delta Elite is a 23lb rated spring and extra power springs are 24, 25, 28lbs. Reduced power recoil springs run 18.5, 20, and 22lbs. So, 24lb doesn’t sound out of this world. Since the recoil and hammer springs have an effect on the recoil impulse, you could always get a recoil calibration kit and tune the recoil and hammer springs to get the recoil sensation that you prefer.

edit: A flat bottomed firing pin spring will also increase the amount of energy needed to cock the hammer.

I run a 23-pound spring in my Witness. I'm seriously considering up in tension, because the pistol launches spent brass into low Earth orbit.

I haven't seen a 10mm 1911 that didnt put wings on the brass. I am not sure you could get one to eject like a 45 or 9mm, but I suppose it is worth a shot.

I think this spring was the golden ticket. PPU 180 grain JHP dropped brass about 5 feet away and my 180 grain FMJ handloads about the same. I noticed that the slide did not feel like it was being punished as much. Return to battery was very pronounced. I'm impressed and very happy.

Now my 180 XTP from Underwood.....Still hasn't landed yet
