Hi folks. The Sig forum is down again so maybe somebody here can help. I've got a 229 with both .40 and 357sig barrels. I bought a Wolff spring kit with 17, 19, and 21 lb springs. I was told the stock spring is 16 lbs. So starting at the top I put in the 21 lb'er with the 357sig barrel. It functioned perfectly. Was a little stiff at first, but it got better. I imagine the stock spring must have been allowing the slide to batter the hell outta the frame. Then just to see what would happen, I put in the .40 barrel with the 21 lb spring. It still functioned perfectly, although the empty brass was only ejected about 2 feet. So why do they (sig) use such a light spring? Anybody know? Am I gunna cause some unknown (to me) problem down the road using the heavier springs? Thanks for your tme.
