Anyone handled the new XDe model????????????Hooray!!!! No grip safety!!!!!! Bout time Springfield............
Well the spring never really crossed my mind since it's not been shot much and still not very old but that's not to say the spring wasn't up to snuff out of the box.
I think I got some Wilson test springs in various weights, perhaps I'll try those and see if I have a more harmonious outcome.

I put in a fresh 20# recoil spring, didn't help. If I just cycle it half the chamber opening and let it go it goes into battery just fine.
Let it down easy stealth mode and it hangs up. Catching on something right at the very end of the travel.
Now I'm wondering, been doing this with no ammo, empty mag, maybe that mag is the issue although it does it with all. Don't recall if it does it with bullets on board.
My sons enhanced model does it some too. Figured it would get better with time whatever it is.

Default 1911 spring weights for all steel models:
Gov't 16#
Commander 18#
With that in mind, my DW CCO came with a 20# spring, guessing because its an alloy frame.
Maybe it just needs a little loving at the range

Harrylee,
Thank you for taking the time and for the effort involved in making that excellent video. I polished up the some surfaces you suggested (others had already been done) and decided to stone the center rail. Upon disassembly of the slide, it appears the striker block is not completely clear the striker when it is released and my striker has some damage to it.
I'm going to be working on this now
Like you, I lament that SA does not sell parts. I've had good fortune with their customer service before, but as I've modified this gun, I don't expect them to work on it under warranty. So, I've a line on a new extractor. I've also found a used trigger group, but believe it is overpriced. I guess I'll see if I can add some material to the trigger bar with my flux wire machine... or find a competent welder to do it for me.
Again thank you and I'll revisit this after the trigger timing thing is fixed.
Regards,
Greg
Yeah I'm pretty sure the original spring is 16#, I only tried the 20# because I had it on hand, didn't plan to leave it since I don't use hot loads and was afraid it would balk with my powder puff loads.
I think 20# for the CCO is correct. I think my Para Officers model uses a 20 or even 22.

The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.
Want to see what will be the end of our country as we know it???

Agreed, I'm rather fond of them myself but you can't run a heavy spring with them or she'll balk on ya.
