I want to change the recoil and mainspring on my 1911 Dan Wesson Specialist in 9mm. After doing a search I could not find the direct factory replacements other than generic for all Wesson models. I know it’s dependent on barrel length which is 5”. I bought this gun used so true round count is unknown but the gun is 18 months old. Regardless of count I am changing the springs for preventative maintenance.
I did find a forum stating the recoil Spring was a 10# Wolf if that is accurate. The only mainspring number I have seen is 18.5# but I am not sure if that applies to both .45acp and 9mm.
