I like my Springfield Armory. Got it mostly because it was a discontinued model on sale at the Fort Drum PX. Came with six mags and a handy bag. I like the milspec except for the stainless, just because it looks a little less military spec like. Recoil hasn't been an issue even for my wife. I have only shot reloads. My first ones didn't cycle too reliably. After shooting it a bit, it likes them now. Which just indicates my reloads were on the low side, hence the lower recoil. I can't comment on the specifics of the question of different spring reducing recoil. The depth of my knowledge is that most put lighter springs in the pistol to reduce recoil.
Maybe someone here will answer better on the specifics of 1911 springs.
