Just a simple question that's been bothering me.
How does recoil spring weight affect recoil?
I have a Ruger SR1911. It came with a 21# recoil spring. I believe the original 1911s were about 18#. The 21# made it hard to rack the slide, so I replaced it, but with a 16#.
Does a lighter recoil spring reduce felt recoil or is it the opposite?
I'm usually shooting 230gr hardball out of it.
