My RIA 1911 which was built by me is a 38 super.(was stolen then recently recovered, I should get it back in 6 weeks). Any way I hve a 19lb main spring and about a 2 pound trigger. The feet on the barrel(I think that is the correct term) are making heavy contact with the slide stop but nothing to be overly concerned about according to a very good local gunsmith. He said just drop in a lighter recoil spring.
I forgot to ask how light. The gun feeds well but I do agree that the slide slamming back forward as hard as it does is costing me time on follow up shots and beating my gun up. So how light can I really go?
