[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 2884512, member: 385"] How old is the pistol? If its around 15-20 years old the slide is part of a batch of bad heat treat or material on a number of 5" SS slides. I saw one break in a manner identical to yours on a range while being fired. No damage to shooter. Springfield Armory repaired the gun at no cost. Get in touch with them. Just a FYI, not a great idea to cut coils off a spring for any gun to make it work. If you need a different spring rate go buy what you need. Especially for the 1911 they are readily available online [/QUOTE]
