ok two issues,there doesn't seem to be any advantage to installing a heavier
firing pin spring and possibly the opposite.
As to recoil spring-slide,barrel interaction aside- I understand that the cap keeps
it under tension and the bushing holds the cap,but my point was that once the slide is traveling rearward it must overcome the recoil spring resistance and then
the main spring so the two are somehow balanced to provide smooth automatic
action.I am quite sure that the standard recoil spring weight was not a random
spec and was arrived at after much testing,anyone that has ever stripped an
M1911 knows it is pretty hefty,so there must be good reason for that.
