Okay experts, I'm stumped! Colt's Stainless Gov't XSE, carried with standard Federal HST. Wilson standard weight recoil spring, brand new out of the package. No shock buff. I fired the quarterly carried standard velocity HST (24 rounds ) followed by some American Eagle 230 gr FMJ (100 rounds) All fired without malfunction, and with no indication that anything was wrong! Field stripped the pistol and found the recoil spring "crushed" at the barrel link end. The coils were definitely a shorter interval then the recoil plug end. Unfortunately, I replaced the spring with another new one from my kit and one of my co-instructors seeing the wrecked spring, threw it away. ( or I'd post pic's )
Any ideas? Bad tempering in the Wilson spring? ( I have ten "kits" Shok Buffs and springs )
Been carrying a Glock 21SF since, for fear of hurting my purty Colt's.
