I'm working with two guns, Colt Combat Commader and Sig 220ST.
I went to the range with some mild handloads and the Commander did fine. It did jam one factory load, though.
The Sig had a problem. The recoil was enough to cock the gun but not eject the spent casing.
I went to the Wolf spring website and it says the factory strength for the Colt's recoil spring is 18 pounds. It says the Sig's spring is 20 pounds.
Pulling the slides back on each gun, it sure feels like more of a difference than 2 pounds.
Is Wolf correct? And, why would Sig want a 20 pound recoil spring? Is Sig more prone to damage from battering?
