I am new to the 1911 world. I picked up a uses Metro Arms Amigo. It is an Officer sized 1911 made in the Philippines. It was love at first shot until I started having ftl's. First I thought it was the magazine. Then I figured it just needed a good cleaning. Finally during the live fire portion of my ccp class, my Amigo turned into a single shot.
After some searching on thr and other forums I ordered an 18.5lb recoil spring. I got it in the mail from midway and installed it. Perfect....like a new gun. Action is now sharp and quick. Not mushy like before.
My question is that Wolff stated on the packaging that the 18.5lb spring was for reduced power loads???? Thats not what I want is it?? Im shooting 230gr win fmj and defensive ammo in it.
Is this spring too light?? Of course I ordered two while I was at it. Lol
