What recoil springs are you guys using?

What brand/weight recoil spring are you guys using in your 5" Kimbers?

[castrolr1]

15-16# wilsons for the range. 17# for my carry with JHP

[Rick McC.]

Standard 16# recoil springs from Kimber.

Take care,

Rick

14-16 lbs.

Standard weight springs in my Dalys, the EFS 5" and the ECS 3.5 . My latest, a used Llama IX-B commander size had been converted to FLGR and had TRIPLE recoil springs installed, of which I have removed 2 and ordered replacement parts to get it back to standard form. Must have been well over 25 pounds - I could barely get the slide all the way back by hand.

What posesses people to go so far overboard with springs, etc?

#16 Wolf, also using wolf springs for magazines and fp.

[Bridgeport Guy]

Wolf #16. I like the fact that the Wolff recoil springs also come with a firing pin spring.

Way before it was due for replacement, I swapped the factory 16 for a Wolff 16.5 that was packaged with a firing pin spring. I don't notice any difference between the two. I use Wolff springs a lot, but a friend of mine swears by ISMI. Both are good products.

ISMI 18lb in my Custom Classic and my TLE II- the review in this site sold me on ISMI

[Old Zebra]

Standard 17# from Nighthawk.

[Ping Ping]

14# in my game gun. 16# in my carry gun. The spring all Wolff all the time.

Oops. Just saw you were asking about kimbers. Mine are Baers but that doesnt matter.

[Little Sarge]

Wolff 16 # in my 5 inch Kimbers.

[Dan I Am]

Just changed out to a 17# Wilson in my 5" because I sometimes use +P ammo.
