1911 9mm recoil spring weight

[Certaindeaf]

My bad. Hammer spring. Thus, my ignorance is revealed. Not YouTube, my bad. Have length gauge and calipers, which I exercise. Looking forward to using proper tool. May still pursue additional springs, as I like to learn and have better experiences with shooting. Only recently acquired brass from another source. Normally all my brass for reloads originate with shooting it first.

The mainspring is what powers the hammer.

Yes, sir.

Much help from all. Thinking might be experiencing "glock bulge." Just ordered a basic tool that my reloading bench lacked. Will do penance following confession. Lyman case gauge will be here late Thursday from Amazon. If this helps, all good. If not then will purchase other springs. YouTube shows easy change of trigger spring. Wouldn't know that if this Forum wasn't supported by informed and intelligent shooters.

I didn't realize you were shooting reloads
since I only shoot factory ammo, this did not come into my evaluation process
remember, my wife won't let me reload in the house, so she approves factory ammo prices
good luck
