Your answer lies with
www.gunsprings.com that is the site for Wolff Springs--get a set of reduced power springs and your troubles will be over..When i get a new auto pistol they are one of the first calls i make...When i go shoot my 1911s be it 38 super or 45 auto i always tailor my springs to the load...start with the heavy springs and work your way down until you get 100% ejaculation (couldn't resist). anytime i see an autopistol throwing brass across the range i always think someones getting ready to crack a frame or slide....Since the Browning is on the small end size wise of the 40's you can bet they put those heavy springs in there to keep the gun from self destructing....Hope this helps....Dick
