[QUOTE="grizzlywinmag, post: 2884563, member: 37292"] I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that removing coils from the spring changes the tension. A 16 pound spring will remain a 16# spring even if some coils are removed. All you are doing is changing the slide travel distance, which in the case shown is a bad thing. So of course I agree that cutting the spring is a no no. Replacement spring kits are relatively inexpensive and should be the only way to tune a pistol to specific ammo. Spring also should not be lightened or shortened to make easier to rack the slide. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
