[QUOTE="D V US, post: 2884714, member: 34558"] Sorry gwm, but you are definately mistaken. If you shorten a spring you change the "pre-load" which will allow the slide to accelerate faster and slam the frame harder. It will in no way change the slide travel distance, just make it travel the same distance faster, which increases rearward momentum, which places a lot more stress on the slide when is comes to that sudden stop at the end. Looking at the pic its impossible to tell if the spring was cut or broken at the time of failure. Also, what ever happened to the old "shock-buff" buffers? [/QUOTE]
