The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

Keep in mind that the "rating" of a recoil spring (ie 25#) is meaningless when you are comparing springs of different geometries. By that I mean that a 25# 1911 recoil spring is not necessarily stiffer than a 22# recoil spring for a PPK.

Which is why cutting a spring is not a good answer to changing spring weight problems. Cutting changes the whole geometry of the spring. It loses power and the power remaining is released at a different point in the springs travel from compressed to relaxed. Hopefully Wolff will make us a set of correctly engineered springs in the near future.

I'll definately give this a try because my 64 has a bite. It may also help to get P-64 springs started with Wolff. Wow, I am really learning a lot here. Up until now I mostly only played with rifles.
