what kind of loads do you shoot and what weight spring do you use (generally)

[CJDOUBLETAP]

I use a 18 lbs Wilson for USPSA and a 16 lbs Wilson for steel in my XD9.

15 lb in my XDM 9mm and I run a 124 grn bullet for a 134 PF.

I run a 18lb in my 5in xd9. I use 125 grain lead bullets at about 135 pf. Any less spring weight it has ftf at about 100 rounds in.

I run a 16lb in my 5" XD9. It will run with a 15lb, but reliability suffers.

+1....wolff 16lb 1911 spring (uncut) shooting 147s in a Tac9

16# in XD9 Tactical with 124/125 @128pf.

I run a #14 wolff in my xdm .40 with anything from 145 pf minor loads to 171 pf factory loads. I have had ONE failure to eject in over 4k rounds run through this gun with this spring. I was surprised but it works great. No failure to go into battery at all.

Glad this topic came up. I have an XD9 Tactical. Can I assume a 16lb Wolf 1911 recoil spring will cover most loads? No modifications (removing coils) needed? I shoot a 124g Berrys over 4g of W231. Don't have a Chrono. The gun cycles fine. About 2500 rounds with the stock spring so far. I'd like to stay as close to stock as possible.

at what power factor would you go from the factory 18lb spring to a lighter spring or vice versa? assuming 9mm non +P factory ammo is going to be AROUND 130pf

[Gryff]

I use a 16# Wilson spring in my XD9 Tactical for IDPA and USPSA Production. Shooting 115gr. factory ammo.

XD9 Tactical using a 13 lb wolf spring. Shooting 115 Grain Montana Gold over 4.6 grains of Titegroup. Works well, gun shoots flat, no issues.
