Hi folks,I ordered the wilson combat flat wire kit for my sr1911. New to 1911s and read good reviews on the wilson kit,qnd like the thought of spring longevity,so I ordered one.
However after i ordered it I read that a 17lb flat wire is equal to a 14-15 lb regular spring. I don't plan on running a shok buff and now I'm concerned that the 17lb spring will be too light. I plan on shooting lots of standard 230gr ammo,with the occasional +p . I'm second guessing myself and don't want to damage my pistol. Everything else is factory spec in the pistol .Anyone have personal experience with the 17lb flat wire in a sr1911? Should i order a 20lb flatwire as well?
