I put the heaviest Wolf recoil spring in, and I think it made a big difference in recoil. Downside, it's hard to load a round.

It didn't on mine. It still slings them out like the factory spring did.

Even though the #22 spring makes it harder to assemble and rack the slide, I think it makes the recoil much friendlier.

Maybe there's an issue with the pistol. I tried the pen in the barrel and pulling the trigger and the pen jumped. I then pulled the hammer back with the pen in and released it without using the trigger and it didn't jump. I then tried this on my pistol. With an empty chamber and slide forward, pull ...

Oh WOW! That is crazy. This is a new one on me. I don't think I have read of this on the board yet so you've got something going. I am real glad that AIM is going to take care of you even though you're outside the warranty window. I am real glad to have been of assistance. Ditto! I bet finding a tr...

Ahahahahahaha!!! The golf course that was on McConnell AFB, Kansas was a big joke. Terrible looking course. I don't play golf, never had the inclination to play. However, a lot of my good friends said it was a sucky course. Thanks for your service Bob! It's shut down. I'm in the Air Guard at McConn...

K-balling was for Comm-Nav troops and the active duty, not Radar troops and the Guard! Just kidding, we did K-balling too. That sounds dirty!

I did Sarge! Recieved the safety and got it installed. Man, getting the plunger spring compressed enough was a pain! Seems to work OK. I'm going to the range tomorrow, we'll see how it does. I'm going to treat the new safety likes it's made of paper!

I have 26 years in and 5 to 8 more to go! Started out on F-4D radars!

Thanks for the info on the firing pin spring. I was going to R2 it anyway, but now I know why!

Well, I just ordered a safety from Poland. Probably take 3 weeks to get here. The first time I shot the pistol, I hated the DA pull and stout recoil. Replaced the hammer and recoil springs with an 18lb and 22lb from Wolff. But I didn't change out the firing pin spring that came with them. Went out a...

Thank you!
