I have a Norinco Model of the 1911A1 that I have owned for about 25 years.
I am getting older, more frail and am having a bit of difficulty racking the slide with 100% success.
I can do so if I cock the hammer first, but I after all these years I find it hard to make that act habitual.
I think I read somewhere a long time ago that Norinco 1911s were shipped with heavier recoil springs to pass import regs more easily (but that was so long ago, I don't know, maybe I imagined it).
Can a less stiff recoil spring be installed that would be easier for 70 year old hands and still be utterly reliable?
Thanks,
Rmocarsky
