I've asked this question before but didn't receive an answer.
If I carry condition one all the time and the firing pin spring is constantly in the cocked position, will this have an adverse effect on this springs life expectancy and if so how much would it shorten the life of this spring?
Like has been said that's too loose, if you call Kimber they'll more likely than not send you a replacement for free. You may want to have a snack and beverage available. The "hold time" for Kimber CS can be challenging
Just confirming the Wolff Colt Mustang springs fit the Kimber Micro Carry.
Just installed it but have not shot it. Tuesday I will take it out. It snugged up the slide tension so that a quick jab forward is not causing the slide to move back a little and clank forward again.
Hey, good to hear Chillis. There've been several reports on the heavier springs working well. I have tried out the 12# Wolff in mine but had a few FTEs with it so went back to stock and no problems?
Just a curiosity question on the ammo. Are you sure it's 90gr and not 95gr? I thought the Aguilla FMJ I've tried was 95gr?
The job of the recoil spring is to absorb some of the recoil driving the side of the gun back. So yes a heavier spring will produce less felt recoil. You just have to be careful not to go too heavy or the slide won't fully function the way it's suppose to and you will start having problems with extraction and loading. Target shooters who use lighter loads go in the opposite direction with lighter springs to keep the gun functioning with their reduced loads.
Another 50 Aguila FMJ 95 gr without issue. I really like this gun now. The slide finish is worsening but I think it looks neat.
