I've been having some issues with my Kimber and figured replacing the recoil spring is cheap insurance. The gun is about 3 years old and has about 500 rounds through it. I figured it should be good for around 1000 rounds.
Maybe it's the spring maybe not but I figured replacing it would be my next step toward ruling it out. The problem I have is what spring to buy. There seems to be countless brands, flat wire, round wire and different spring rates. My pistol is a 5 inch barrel 45 and from what I have read it should be a 16 lb spring.
Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.
