I have run the Sprinco in two different guns.

Both Springcos are for sale-cheap.

It is actually a wonderful idea, HK use to run a two spring recoil system. They do change the way the gun feels during the firing cycle.

Personally I do not like it. Hence I do not use them anymore.

I think they make the recoil "feel" softer but it makes the gun bounce to me. The sights track a little different with each shot.

for what it is worth, my 2 cents follows.
I have looked at sprinco occasionally over the years out of curiosity. i have fired some double recoil spring guns that were very efficient, and after reading an article on them by the WC, am pretty conviced that they are effective. That being said, the reason that I havent purchased one is the same reason that BE gave. It is a problem waiting to happen. I have run into my share of match meltdowns (which seems to be on a regular basis, because i suck), and do believe that the sprinco in a 1911 is a major meltdown waiting to happen.

want to change the way your 1911 recoils? heavy bullet over fast powder with a variable recoil spring.

Felt recoil changes. There is no arguement over that. Weither you like it or not, well that's a different story. I have arthritus and can not shoot any pistol without one. I think they are amazing, they allow me to shoot without pain. I have never had any wear on a gun from one.
