SAM recoil spring

[Above49TH]

I have the 9mm military,and seen that some here had changed the recoil.
What is the weight of the stock one and what did you change it to.

Do they interchange with most 1911 or is it a SAM part.
Would this indicate the need for a heavier spring?



Also what do you suggest for a spare mag?

I would be interested in spare s.s. 9mm mags for a SAM.

I would suggest Wilson Combat 10 rd. from P&D in Edmonton
I had them in a couple of days.

Unfortunately OP posted in a another dealers forum so not that great to talk about another dealer/business in another dealer forum.

I'm having ejection issues with mine about once a mag it doesn't eject the casing. Anyone else have thus issue? And what can I do about it?

Not sure about the SAM but Kimber uses a 12 pound spring in their full size 9mm 1911s so that would be a good place to start. I don't see anything wrong with those cases except perhaps for the powder smudges. If the empties are ejecting consistently between 2-5 feet then your spring weight is probably good for that load. Any standard 1911 spring will work in the SAM all other factors being equal.

Yea they say 10-12# I put in a 15# I got a lighter mainspring so it violet ejects.

The reason I ask is I don't see soot 3/4 the way down the shell from other pistols.
It also sounds loader than the Glocks that I have shot,but maybe it's the range I shot at.
As for the mag I was not certain what was compatible on Wolverines site.
I didn't buy a spare mag when I got the pistol from Wolverine thinking a box of shells would last longer.
I have given up on that idea and will just buy by the case

Well the SAM comes with a Mecgar mag. But any mag that says 1911 and 9mm will work with the SAM.

I have an Enhanced Stainless 9mm and have had no issues at all with the original springs.
Why would you want to change something that works perfectly?
I have mags from 5 different manufactures and the only difference is capacity. Some stainless and some blued all work flawlessly.
Now saving pennies for a stainless longslide to go with my AMT.
