Good standard Recoil spring upgrade

Flat wire springs are shown to last longer, but by how much is a bit tricky. This would be a good spring for those that only shoot 230 grain standard pressure loads consistently. This would be the upgrade for the 16lb recoil spring, which is fine if your pistol only shoots 230 grain ammo going 830 FPS consistently. As far as the shokbuff, I dont think it is really doing too much to "save the frame" but it will take a little of the bite out of the felt recoil and turn it into a forceful push for about 500 to 1000 rounds.
