Hey guys,
I had the thread last week about my 1911 not ejecting the second to last round in my new Wilson 47D magazines. Well, I bought a new extended ejector and extractor (both Ed Brown). The gun now hand-feeds all 8 rounds without a problem. I still need to get to the range and test it out soon.
I also ordered a 16lb and 14lb recoil spring from brownells as well as some Shock-Buffs. For now I'm using factory ammo, either Winchester whitebox or Federal UMC. I'm not sure what weight spring is in the gun right now, but it is shorter than the two new springs I ordered. My question is, do you guys think it would be safe to shoot factory ammo with a 14lb spring and a Shock-Buff? If not, a 16lb spring should be fine right?
