Why would a long slide require a different recoil spring? It seems silly to ask at first but since the spring ultimately is squeezed down to the same size no matter how long the slide, why would it matter? If the spring is long enough to push reasonably against the plug, and it is, why would it matter? Maybe the initial velocity of the slide would be greater because there would be less static pressure?
I saw that Wolff offers Long Slide springs. I ordered one anyway because I'm going to run 45 Super loads and they offer a very heavy, long spring specifically for Long Slides.
I've been happily shooting my Para 45 Long Slide that I put on a Pro-Custom frame for some time now with no problems at all. The barrel is a 6" Kart with a C/P ramp that will shortly be Magnaported.
I've ordered 500 Star-Line 45 Super cases, heavier Wolff springs, recoil (28#), XXP firing pin and XP STI magazine springs. I run STI mags. I've also added a Nowlin 6" guide rod as well as a shock buff.
I'll be using 185 gr Sierra FP bullets.
I have a 45 Rowland kit in another 1911 so I'm familiar with high powered 45 acp's. I'm coming to the conclusion that long slides might just be more reliable than comped pistols....at least that's how this is starting to look.
