RK,

I really enjoy your posts and Alabama humor, especially when you include your dog and truck. In many ways we have a lot in common. I am an old country boy from PA who never really grew up. My toys just got more expensive (as in cars, guns and boats). I save a buck or two when I can and then go blow many $$ on a toy that I really need (I do?).

Anyway, I also find my 1911s work perfectly with fairly light as well as heavy reloads and factory loads. I never touch the recoil springs. I have not really messed with light bullets, I only use 230 grain roundnose because other shapes have malfunctioned in the past. Roundnose 230 grain bullets work great in both old and new guns with 4.6 grains of Bullseye powder and shoot one hole groups at 25 yards in my accurized guns.

I suspect the Luger would be more sensitive to light loads, but I can't be bothered reloading 9 mm when the Wallymart ammo is available.
