Thanks and welcome

Glad to help, More to come...:)

Thank you, Yes, I am on the rebound and back working 12 hour days....:)

Thanks, you too!

Hi James, This is on our list but not in the immediate future.

Any time! Glad you join in!!! Thank you for all the super support!

Thank you for your super comments

Thank you sir for you nice comments!

I understand that he was with Dan Wesson.

Thanks for the info! Yes, They do work well, but what we find is it is a bastard recoil rod system and many folks get confused and have issues because they do not understand you cannot use standard 1911 guide rod parts.

Yes, you are correct. This is a good indicator. Good call.

Hi James, We will be sticking with the 1911, & then our Shotguns for more content. No ARs in the plan.

Use good 5.56 ammo, not .223. No TUL, Wolf, or junk like it.

Yes, depending on how tight the pistol is and the set-up, I would start with a 10 or 12# recoil spring for the 9mm and 14-16# for the 38 Super. Generally if the cases are getting chewed-up it is due to to heavy of a recoil spring. Also, maybe look at an extended ejector. This may also help.

Thank you, I am back working but still have the Covid Hack. But, feeling better every day. On the variable springs, I have used them but have generally found not much of any advantage if any. I do see where they may help with suppressors or comps, to aid in cycling sometimes. But, generally you can find a standard spring weight that will work well with most applications. Good question though.

Thank you for the nice comments, Call into or email customer services with what caliber you are looking for. We are making officers barrels about every 4 to 5 days

@@fusionfirearms thanks, I will do that

Glad it helped! But, a ringing noise, Hum, I have never heard of this.

This will all depend on the loads you are using. On standard 5 inch Gov 45 acp pistols I like 16# or 18# for most standard loads, for the 9mm I like the 10#, 12# and sometime depending on loads the 14#. Replacing some factory springs is a good call. With many production makes of pistols, many manufactures use lighter springs so that when a person is at the gun shop and racks back the slide the pistol feels easier to pull back and some say "Feels smoother". You can also easily test and see if you have too heavy of a spring in the pistol. If the spring is too heavy the slide will not cycle all the way back and you will not go to slide "Lock-back" on empty mag, in operation.

Yes, for a 45 acp. in the lighter 9mm's and such it will generally be less.

@@fusionfirearms Good to know. Thank you.

You will need a lighter recoil spring..

They have some application depending on loads, caliber and how you are going to set you pistol up. But, if you set the pistol up properly with proper recoil springs they are generally not needed.

Yes, a heavier recoil spring will help slow down the ejection.

Yes, less coils, less operating tension.

Are you meaning to rack the slide? if so reduce recoil spring to 14-16#. and in the situation of reduced weight recoil springs, maybe add a shok-buff. Also consider lighter loads.

No, That is OK, As long as it is functioning well for you.

@@fusionfirearms Thanks for the input. Have a prodigy with new internals. Has 17lb main spring. Have both 9lb and 12lb recoil spring. both work great, 9lb seems a little better.

Yes, we are changing this on newer videos and more lighting
