1911 recoil spring question

[Black Majik]

Hey guys,

Quick question, if I shoot 185 gr. ammo out of my 1911, would I have to change the recoil spring, or can I shoot using my factory recoil spring?

I bought a case of Winchester 185gr. .45, just wanted to make sure I'm clear to shoot it as is.

Thanks!

Factory ammo is designed to function with common firearm configuration. The only time you would need to change your recoil spring is if you are using lower power or over power ammo non standard ammo.

What steve said.
The 16# spring handles just about everything.
