I put a hundred or so rounds through mine today. Stayed home because of the 'wonderful' cold I caught from someone at work, but I had the courtesy not to go in and sneeze on everything.

Got mine back from warranty shop. Have not shot it..The gun doctor only shot a few rounds of pussy ammo through it. I'm not getting my hopes up. With real 10mm full house loads this gun failed miserably!

 I am taking mine out tomorrow to test the new red recoil spring. I will report back as soon as I can.

Where my trigger finger reaches when I've got my thumb on the safety so that I can operate it properly.

JK, but it looks like your hands are just small for that particular weapon. It does appear to have a Big GRIP!  :-[

I got the red spring to try out and thought some might like to see the difference in length between the red and silver spring (stock spring that came with the gun).   What a difference the red spring makes in ease of getting the slide back on.

What is the difference in recoil if you have shot it yet?

On mine the difference was barely noticeable on light factory loads. On the hotter hand loads I could tell right away. Still not as much muzzle flip as my DE.

So which is the correct recoil spring?  Mine currently has the long and stiff non-red spring installed.

I can only assume the longer silver one is, as it is the one that came with mine from the factory.

They used to come with the red one, mine did as well as some others. Now they come with the silver one.

I have posed the recoil spring question on the Grand Power Forum and I am awaiting an answer. It is not a large forum and responses can take awhile. If I hear anything I will let you know.

I could be wrong but I think the red spring is a 9mm spring. My K100 came with the red spring and the X-Calibur comes with 3 springs, one of them being the red spring.

When I ordered my new spring, the red one was the only one shown for the 10mm.
