im looking into buying a new set of springs for my 1911. ive replaced the springs once in my AO around the time i bought it. she was a bit tired when i bought it (bout 8k rnds), but heck, a 200$ 1911...who could resist right? so its been about another 5000 rnds down the pipe and im having some occasional FTE and erratic ejection issues, must be time to replace the springs. who makes the best spring kit for 1911's? the last recoil spring was a wilson combat, and i just replaced the leaf spring with a wilson about 100 rnds ago along with a worn out sear and disconnector (like i said shes been shot alot) any suggestions on a new recoil spring? Wolf, Wilson,....?
