I've seen a few posts lately on other forums and in other reading material about reducing recoil in 10mm 1911's. I see people referring to a "stronger main spring" reducing felt recoil. Don't they mean a stronger recoil spring? I thought the main spring or hammer spring as it is also known, only really made the hammer easier to pull back or makes it fall lighter. It might even help a very heavy trigger pull to lighten the hammer spring. Am I thinking correctly? I am going to shoot 200 gr bullets at about 1200 fps and plan to install a GI short guide rod, Wolff recoil spring in about a 23-24 lb weight, a flat bottomed firing spring stop from EGW and perhaps a lighter Wolff main or hammer spring. Does this sound right?
