Tomorrow I'm going to the range to get a 15 pound spring. They sell them there for the same price as
any I've seen online, and I won't have to pay shipping!

If you load with +p "defense" stuff, you may want to go back to the
stronger spring.
I never shoot anything but regular ball in my P90 but I suspect it
will handle anything I throw at it. I have never had a malfunction but
I hold on to the gun ;-)
My old CG chief was a competitive shooter and he taught me a whole lot
about shooting the .45
He really got ****ed at people who whined about the 1911. He offered
to let anyone pick any pistol out of the armory and he would go shoot
against you for money, even if you had your tuned up Gold Cup.
He had a nice competition pistol and they shot match ammo at the show
but he said it did not make that much difference over a hard ball gun
and WWII surplus ammo.

I don't expect to be shooting any +p or +p+ in that thing. I figure a round of regular stuff in the
chest would probably do the job, especially if the 'chest' is on a sheet of paper. Here's what Ruger
says about ammo for the SR1911:

The RUGER®SR1911® pistols are compatible with all factory ammunition
of the correct caliber loaded to U.S. Industry Standards, including high-velocity
and hollow-point loads, loaded in brass, aluminum, or steel cartridge cases. No
ammunition manufactured in accordance with NATO, U.S., SAAMI, or CIP
standards is known to be beyond the design limits or known not to function in
these pistols.

I'm going to try a 15lb spring in it and see what that does.
